@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Cooling is, yeah, Scott Manley has a video on it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlQYU3m1e80 ) which is pretty informative.

Radiation is also not a huge issue - these things are planned for low earth orbit, so plenty of shielding from the earth's magnetic field. Same domain as the ISS in that regard.

(None of this is me saying its a good idea, if nothing else all those satellites would wreck the night sky for astronomy, more so than is already being done ๐Ÿ˜ž )
