Heat insulation within the Ganymede Biodome

The range of temperature on Ganymede is -204 Celsius to -121 Celsius—that’s pretty cold! If a colony is to be set up on the moon, it must be able to generate and, more importantly, insulate heat within the biodome. After the biodome is installed on the planet and a livable temperature is established for the colonists, heat insulation is key, therefore the biodome will ideally have negligible heat loss naturally.


In the case of uncontrolled and accidental energy dispersion within the biodome, like in the case of an electrical fire, radiation, or a problem with an inter-biodome energy extractor, cold Oxygen gas can be filtered in from the atmosphere in certain amounts as the problem is fixed. In this event, the cold air would then be moved throughout the entire dome if necessary with more fans.
