A chiller and heat exchanger prototype successfully moved cold water behind the habitat glass, proving that external cooling could transfer temperature into the sealed atmosphere. The test showed that chilled glass could drive condensation and support the internal water cycle miniBIOTA needs, making the next atmospheric build step possible.
