Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?

Experiment # 1:  Heat Radiation

On earth darker items absorb all wavelengths of light. However, lighter items reflect it, causing it to heat up slower than darker things. So, our experiment will see if this is true in Space.

Conclusion

We noticed in the ground data, the black color was about 1-2 degrees warmer than the white color. It made a spike in temperature, but the black color was still warmer. 

In the flight data, the black color was about 2-3 degrees warmer than the white color.  This suggests in Space, the black color gets warmer than the white.
