Summary
THE STATUS OF CRYOGENIC REFRIGERATOR DEVELOPMENT INTENDED FOR, OR POSSIBLY APPLICABLE TO, LONG LIFE SPACECRAFT BORNE APPLICATION IS REVIEWED. THE VARIOUS TRENDS ARE COMPARED AND EVALUATED. THE LINEAR DRIVE, NON-CONTACTING BEARING STIRLING CYCLE REFRIGERATOR CONCEPT APPEARS TO BE THE BEST CURRENT APPROACH. HOWEVER, A MULTIPLE REDUNDANT SET OF LIGHTWEIGHT, MODERATE LIFE, MODERATE RELIABILITY STIRLING CYCLE CRYOGENIC REFRIGERATORS USING HIGH-SPEED LINEAR DRIVE AND SLIDING CONTACT BEARINGS MAY POSSIBLY SUFFICE.
