Organised by the European Space Agency (ESA)in association with Industries, Institutes and Agencies.
Objectives
This workshop will cover topics related to space developments and on-going and future cryogenic space missions.
A special focus will be on the preparation of the 2024 Cryogenics and Focal Plane Cooling Roadmap and Harmonisation process and the cryogenics related prospects of the Earth Observation and Science upcoming missions.
Participants will have the opportunity to share their technical expertise and experiences through formal presentations and informal discussions.
The main objectives for the 9th European Space Cryogenics Workshop are:
- To present the state-of-the-art of cryogenic development for on going Space Missions
- To present experience with In-orbit Cryogenic Systems and lessons learnt
- To explore and elaborate on future needs in the cryogenics field for space applications.
Topics of Interest
- Future needs in Space cryogenics.
- Active coolers (e.g. Stirlings, Pulse-Tubes, Turbo-Braytons, Joule-Thomson Coolers).
- Sub-Kelvin refrigeration systems (e.g. Dilution coolers, ADR, Sorption Pumped Coolers).
- Cryogenic testing facilities for space application (providing temperatures below 40K).
- Cryocoolers Integration Technologies (e.g. Thermal link assemblies, Energy Storage).
- Cryogenic for launchers, Storage and Zero Boil-Off.
- Space Cryogenic Instruments and Systems.
- Challenges in Cryogenic Systems (e.g. lifetime, margin philosophy, microvibrations).
- Conference proceedings will be available to download online to the delegates before the conference.
