Orbital cryogenic cooling of sensor systems
Abstract
Cryogenic cooling of sensors is a means of attaining the high-performance detection characteristics required for orbital missions. Solid cooler technology is reviewed, and its application to helium/liquid helium, solid neon/liquid helium, and solid nitrogen/liquid helium systems, capable of satisfying requirements below 10 K is examined. The impact of these systems on spacecraft design and operation is assessed, and recent orbital experience is discussed.
