Paper Abstract
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is involved with two space projects that require cooled infrared detectors operating at about 80 K; the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR), and the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS). In addition, a two stage Stirling-cycle cooler is being developed for space use. This will act as a precooler for a 4 K Joule-Thomson expansion stage. This paper describes the development and performance of these refrigerators.
