The possibility was investigated of using passive thermal control to obtain a maximum diurnal temperature of 100 C and a minimum nocturnal temperature of -70 C on a hollow laser reflector deposited on the moon. The facets of the reflector are basically constituted by specular aluminized Sital. Two solutions were studied: one in which the internal faces are covered with a second surface mirror type coating, and another in which the internal faces are not coated, the aperture of the reflector being closed by a thin glass plate. It was concluded that both solutions were viable, the first one being preferable because it is technologically feasible and simpler than the other from a mechanical point of view.
