This talk will present some of the issues associated with doing high-resolution measurements in the unique ISS environment.
This paper addresses the experiment environment - what LTMPEF and the International Space Station (ISS) provide, as well as the environmental factors that may degrade the scientific return from the facility.
The LTMPF Payload is a 182-liter superfluid-helium dewar that will be attached to the JEM-EF facility of the International Space Station after launch in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle. The LTMPF Payload will provide a major low-temperature research laboratory for Fundamental Physics experiments on the International Space Station. The LTMPF payload will provide instrument temperatures below superfluid helium temperatures and the ISS will provide microgravity to allow the experiments to study condensed matter and gravitational physics. Each flight will be allocated to one condensed matter instrument and one gravitation instrument.
