Summary

Drawing on its considerable experience in space cryogenics, acquired mainly in the framework of the Ariane and International Space Station programmes, Air Liquide has developed a 0.1 kelvin dilution cooler for space, in partnership with the Research Laboratory for very Low Temperatures of Grenoble (CRTBT). Its role is to cool down the HFI (High Frequency Instrument) on board the astrophysics satellite Planck.
