The paper presents the results of thermal vacuum testing of space technology components and instruments using local helium cryo-panels (“shrouds”) in a liquid nitrogen thermal vacuum chamber. A structural description of prototypes and upgraded helium shrouds is given. The results of experimental layouts at the helium temperature level are presented.
