Performance, reliability and life issues for components of the Planck Sorption Cooler
Continuous-duty hydrogen sorption cryocoolers are being developed for the European Space Agency (ESA) Planck mission. To achieve an acceptable level of performance and robust operation with these hydride refrigerators during flight, detailed investigations have been performed on the sorbent materials and on critical hardware components.

Cryogenic system design for a hydrogen sorption cooler
For several future space applications, long life vibration free collers are needed to cover the temperature range from 60K to about 4K. We describe the development of a novel cryogenic system capable of reaching 18K in coupled resevoirs that provide distributed cooling with small temperature fluctuations.
