Résumé

The Low Temperature Platform Facility (LTPF) flew on STS-87 from November 19 to December 5, 1997 as part of the fourth US Microgravity Payload (USMP-4). During this flight, the LTPF contained the Confined Helium eXperiment (CHeX). The CHeX mission was a success because the LTPF functioned as expected, and the LTPF dewar provided a stable, long lived cooling source for the CHeX instrument. The LTPF is a NASA/JPL facility that is designed to accommodate space shuttle based science experiments or instruments that need cryogenic temperatures near 2 K.
