How cool is VL2

Therefore, Earthshine's contribution is at most 1/1444th that of Venus's nightside, and most of the time it will be much less than that. I'll admit to some curiosity as to how to compute it properly, but the temperature at VL2 appears to be ultra-cold, probably 4-5 K at the very most. (The temperature of the CMBR is 2.5-3 K. I don't know how much the 532 w/m^2 will contribute to the temperature gain here, but since Venus is 1 billion meters out I doubt it would contribute much. Note that Earth's average temperature is about 287 K -- or 14 C.) No.1 VL2 at perhaps 87% solar isolation is not exactly in the "perpetual shadow of Venus", so I'm thinking your 4~5 K is more than a touch on the cold side. However, the perpetual shade that's offered by that of POOF City and of it's panels of those PV cells should offer up a few back-side tens of K to work with, because there's still those extremely hot solar wind ions plus whatever gets excavated away from that acidic upper atmosphere of Venus that has got to represent some measurable degree of heat. No.2 From above the robust bulk of them acidic and highly reflective clouds of Venus (especially while situated over the nighttime season of Venus), is actually representing a fairly cool item to contend with. Therefore, I'd have to agree that whatever's the Venus nighttime worth of IR planetshine (including its geothermal surplus of 20.5 w/m2) isn't going to significantly impact the VL2 thermal budget of POOF City. As I'd said before, using a wide degree or scope of a halo station- keeping orbit, as such might become the VL2 norm in order to keep certain parts of POOF City from freezing to death. Meaning, there should always be an ongoing need for those ion or whatever station- keeping thrusters to do. Did I mention that I have a beer fortified urine -- steam/ion thruster idea. No.3 Thanks for all of that on-topic and otherwise constructive feedback. - Brad Guth |

I guess that's about as honestly independent as we're ever going get.

news:943268f4698ce93ff8aabb231b766a9b.49644@mygate .mailgate.org Venus L2(VL2) is supposedly 1,014,300 km 1,014,200 km = 86% shaded by Venus, receiving 14% worth of the solar photosphere plus a little extra illumination. As per usual, the incest mutated naysay mindset of Usenet is stuck deeply into the nearest space toilet. There's lots of absolutely nifty things (all good) about POOF City at Venus L2. Unfortunately, not even Usenet cam.misc is up to the task. It's as though the topic/author taboo is still in full swing, of covering thy silly Usenet butts. Even the MI/NSA spooks and moles have backed off from this one. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

No.1 VL2 at perhaps 87% solar isolation is not exactly in the "perpetual shadow of Venus", so I'm thinking your 4~5 K is more than a touch on the cold side. I was assuming full shadow. As it is, r = 1.0821 * 10^11 m * cuberoot(4.8685 * 10^24 / (3 * 1.9884 * 10^30 kg)) = 1.0112 * 10^9 m At this distance, a diameter of Sol would span about 1.392 * 10^9 m / (1.0821 * 10^11 m) = 1.2864 * 10^-2 rad and Venus would span 1.2104 * 10^7 m / (1.0112 * 10^9 m) = 1.1197 * 10^-2 rad which means that anything at VL2 will get about 24% of the insolation that Venus gets, absent atmospheric refraction effects, or about 46% of what Earth gets. The actual visual effect, of course, would be a bright annular ring. However, the perpetual shade that's offered by that of POOF City and of it's panels of those PV cells should offer up a few back-side tens of K to work with, because there's still those extremely hot solar wind ions plus whatever gets excavated away from that acidic upper atmosphere of Venus that has got to represent some measurable degree of heat.

Hardly any of my stuff is original, as with most everything, it has all been accomplished by China as of a thousand years ago. Unlike other rusemasters and much of what's NASA/Apollo, I'm stuck with those pesky regular laws of physics, as well as a fairly old PC. BTW; Your numbers are still pretty much all over the place, and as such you still haven't nailed down how hot or cold VL2 is. your 1.1197 / 1.2864 = 87% isolation (sounds about right) I thought you had a real do-everything computer to work with. - Brad Guth |
