The Cryocooler for the Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides cooling at 6.2K on the instrument interface. The system design has been incrementally documented in previous publications and has components that traverse three primary thermal regions on JWST: Region 1, approximated by 40K; Region 2, approximated by 100K; and Region 3, which is at the...

Perceiving a need for space-qualified tactical cryocoolers suitable for shorter, higher risk-tolerant missions, Ball established a new approach to cryocooler electronics. An entirely new architecture, rooted in past experience and optimized with today’s technology, was developed that could be scaled to different power needs and could be configured for different missions or coolers as...

This paper describes the thermal performance, exported vibration, and magnetics testing and results of a Lockheed Martin high-power micro pulse tube cryocooler. The thermal performance of the microcooler was measured in vacuum for heat reject temperatures between 200 and 300 K. The cooler was driven with a Chroma 61602 AC power source for input powers ranging from 10 to 60 W and drive...
