This paper describes the design, fabrication, and testing of Ultralite Tubes intended to provide thermal management for habitat modules in a lunar colony. The Ultralite Fabric Reflux Tubes, under this phase of development, are constructed of thin‐walled copper liners overwrapped with aluminoborosilicate fabric. These devices were constructed and tested in air at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory and subsequently taken to the NASA Johnson Space Center for thermal vacuum experimentation.
