ShareThe transfer of superfluid helium in space.
Author(s) : DIPIRRO M. J., SHIRRON P. J., TUTTLE J. G.
Summary
The Superfluid Helium On-Orbit Transfer (SHOOT) Flight Demonstration was part of the space shuttle STS-57 mission in June, 1993. The experiment objectives included: transfer of superfluid between two dewars in a low gravity environment at different flow rates; operation of two different liquid acquisition devices within the dewars; liquid-vapour phase separation at varying venting rates; accurate mass gauging and flow metering; and autonomous control of the transfer process.
