Summary
The Far Infrared Space Telescope (FIRST) is the 4th Cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency "Horizon 2000" space science programme. The paper describes the design and development of a two-stage Stirling-cycle cooler to meet the 20 K requirements of the FIRST mission. This cooler is used both as a stand alone cooler and as a precooler for a closed cycle Joule-Thomson 4 K cooler.
