JPL is developing two continuous 20 K nominal sorption-based coolers for the European Space Agency (ESA) Planck mission.
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.
