Type of article: Article
Summary
Preliminary results from the Superfluid Helium On-Orbit Transfer (SHOOT) Flight Demonstration which flew on Space Shuttle STS-57 in June 1993 are presented. A description of the transfer process, the transfer rates and losses, observations of the differences between ground transfers and those done on-orbit, and the performance of a number of components are also included. Among these components are liquid acquisition devices, phase separators, liquid-vapour discriminators, thermomechanical pumps, three types of valves, venturi flow meters and a heat pulse mass gauging system.
