406. C3Or3D-01: Einstein Telescope PathFinder Cooling System Architecture and Design

Mr Arvi Xhahi (Nikhef / University of Twente)

The ETpathfinder (ETPF) is a reduced-scale prototype of the the Einstein Telescope Gravitational Wave observatory aimed at testing and advancing the required technologies. ETPF will have two Fabry-Perot Michelson Interferometer (FPMI) arms of which the mirrors are cryogenically cooled. Both are cooled by LN2 whereas one of the two has to be cooled further down to about 10 K by an additional...

110. C3Or3D-02: Low-noise thermal shielding around the cryogenic payloads in the Einstein Telescope

Mr Lennard Busch (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))

Contributed Oral

The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a planned third-generation gravitational-wave detector that includes a low-frequency (LF) and a high-frequency (HF) laser interferometer. Cryogenic operation of ET-LF is imperative for exploiting the full scientific potential of ET, with mirrors operated at temperatures of 10 K to 20 K in order to reduce the thermal noise. Thermal shielding around the optics is...

114. C3Or3D-03: Conceptual cryostat design for cryogenic payload suspension studies for the Einstein Telescope

Mrs Xhesika Koroveshi (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))

Contributed Oral

The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a third generation gravitational wave detector,combining a low-frequency (LF) and a high-frequency (HF) laser interferometer. Cryogenic operation of ET-LF in the temperature range of 10 K to 20 K is essential to suppress the suspension thermal noise, which dominates the detection sensitivity at frequencies below 10 Hz. This requires suspension materials with high...

410. C3Or3D-04: SPHEREx payload thermal architecture and analysis

Bradley Moore (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology)

Contributed Oral

The SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) is an all-sky spectral survey in a sun-synchronous low earth orbit. It measures spectrum in the near infrared band from 0.75um to 5um. To achieve this wavelength coverage, the instrument has two focal plane arrays, both passively cooled at <55K (mid-wave infrared) and <80K (short-wave...

5. C3Or3D-05: Thermal design of the High-Volatiles and Minerals Moon Mapper (HVM3) Instrument on the Lunar Trailblazer Mission (LTB)

Ian McKinley (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology)

Contributed Oral

The Lunar Trailblazer (LTB) Mission consists of a spacecraft that hosts two science instruments, the High-resolution Volatiles and Minerals Moon Mapper (HVM3) and the Lunar Thermal Mapper. Flight system delivery is scheduled for the end of 2022. The purpose of the mission is to understand the form, abundance and distribution of water on the Moon as well as the lunar water cycle. HVM3 is a...
