Heat Reflectors: The Hidden Power of Space Blankets

A close look at space blankets—the lightweight Mylar sheets that trap heat and reflect heat away. We explore how biaxially oriented BOPET film, aluminum metallization, and surface texture give them their heat-shielding powers, their NASA origins from Skylab to Echo 2, and practical uses for hikers, campers, and amateur scientists today.
