ShareNASA IN-STEP Cryo System Experiment flight test.
Author(s) : RUSSO S. C., SUGIMURA R. S.
Summary
The Cryo System Experiment, a NASA In-Space Technology Experiments Program (IN-STEP) flight experiment, was flown on Space Shuttle Discovery (STS 63) in February 1995. The experiment was developed to validate in "zero-g" space a 65 K cryogenic system for focal planes, optics, instruments or other equipment (gamma-ray spectrometers and infrared and submillimetre imaging instruments) that requires continuous cryogenic cooling.
