Summary

The CLAES is one of nine instruments aboard the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (for the purpose of understanding the physics of the upper atmosphere). The instrument remained operational for over 19.8 months before the open-cycle cryogenic cooler was depleted. The paper discusses the design, test and orbital performance of the dual-stage solid neon-CO2 cryostat used to cool the sensor.
