Type of article: Article

Summary

THE CURRENT CONCEPT OF LIQUID HELIUM RESUPPLY FROM THE SPACE STATION IS DISCUSSED WITH REGARD TO USER AND SPACE STATION REQUIREMENTS, AS WELL AS REQUIREMENTS OF THE LIQUID HELIUM SERVICING FACILITY ITSELF. THE USERS ARE DIVIDED INTO 2 GROUPS: LARGE VOLUME USERS WHICH ARE SERVICED EVERY 1 TO 2 YEARS AND SMALL VOLUME USERS WHICH ARE SERVICED EVERY FEW MONTHS. BOTH GROUPS HAVE A VERY STRONG IMPACT ON THE DEFINITION OF THE LIQUID HELIUM SERVICING FACILITY. THE FACILITY COMPONENTS WILL BE BASED ON RESULTS OF THE SUPERFLUID HELIUM ON-ORBIT TRANSFER FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION BEING CONDUCTED BY NASA.
