The progress of the Robotic Resupply Mission III (RRM III) Cryogen Demonstration System (CDS), an on-orbit experiment to store, transfer and solidify a cryogen, is described. This experiment would demonstrate techniques for resupplying science missions that use liquid or solid cryogens. RRM III has progressed through System Requirements Review, and is moving towards Preliminary Design...

The James Webb Space Telescope will operate in space at temperatures lower than 50 K. To test the major parts of the telescope and instruments on the ground requires a very large thermal vacuum chamber with a helium-cooled shroud operating below 20 K. This chamber and shroud are being subjected to a series of 4 preliminary tests to characterize the chamber and the ground support equipment...

A 1 L liquid hydrogen fuel tank has been designed, fabricated and tested to optimize boil-off rate and minimize weight for a 200 W light weight fuel cell in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A 200 W fuel cell requires maximum flow rate of 2.6 SLPM or less of liquid hydrogen boil-off rate in the fuel tank. After looking at several different insulation schemes, the system was optimized as two...

The Stratospheric TeraHertz Observatory (STO) is a NASA funded, Long Duration Balloon experiment designed to address a key problem in modern astrophysics: understanding the Life Cycle of the Interstellar Medium. STO surveys a section of the Galactic plane in the dominant interstellar cooling line at 1.9 THz and the important star formation tracer at 1.46 THz, at ~1 arc minute angular...
