Cold Stowage consists of hardware, both active and passive, that transports science to/from and stows science on the International Space Station (ISS) in a temperature-controlled environment. - Active and passive systems provide more flexibility and redundancy - Cold Stowage will assign experiments to assets based on mission requirements and best use of space. - Temperature range for science support is -160°C to +48°C on ISS and -95°C to +40°C for launch and return - All hardware is compatible with SpaceX and Northrop Grumman (NG) vehicles. - Cold Stowage hardware is maintained by a joint effort between ESA, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and the JSC Cold Stowage Team which prepares the hardware for flight, including launch and landing support. - The Cold Stowage team is based out of Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. - The Cold Stowage team also works in and maintains the Cold Stowage lab at KSC and Wallops.
