Type of article: Article
Summary
The Superfluid Helium On-Orbit Transfer (SHOOT) Flight Demonstration is an experimental Shuttle attached payload. Normal helium is pumped to superfluid temperatures after orbit insertion by means of a liquid/vapour phase separator capable of operating with both helium I and helium II at its inlet. When the phase separator provides cooling to the bottom of the dewar, the bulk liquid thermally stratifies. Estimates of the extent and impact of thermal stratification are presented as well as predictions of the behaviour of the helium I/helium II boundary.
