Spacecraft cryocoolers continue to attract interest n the space science community. To date, many Stirlling cycle cryocoolers have been characterized by JPL in a number of performance areas including thermal performance.
The Sunpower 140K cryocooler is an integral in-line single compressor/single displacer configuration that features the use of low friciton gas bearings on all running surfaces. The design is vey compact, simple, and light-weight. This type of cryocooler was originally intended for use in the electronics industry.
