The Low Temperature Microgravity Physics Facility currently in the design phase is a multiple user and multiple flight facility intended to provide a long duration low temperature environment onboard the International Space Station. The Facility will provide a unique platform for scientific investigations requiring both low temperature and microgravity conditions. It will be attached to the Japanese Experiment Module`s Exposed Facility and can house two science instruments each flight. The Facility consists of a 180-liter superfluid helium dewar, a support enclosure, and control electronics. The facility will be launched full of cryogen, and retrieved after the cryogen is depleted. Industrial partners are responsible for building the reusable facility and standard parts of the instruments. Principal Investigators from universities and other institutions are contracted to develop major parts of the science instrument package. An overview of the detailed technical capabilities of the facility will be presented in this paper.
This work is being carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under contract to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The work was funded by NASA’s Office of Biological and Physical Research, Physical Sciences Division. We thank BATC for providing the picture in Fig. 1.
