System Test Performance for the Ball Two-Stage Stirling-Cycle Cryocooler

  • Chapter
Cryocoolers 9

Abstract

In this paper we will present the current status of the ongoing development of a Stirling cycle cryocooler specifically tailored for space applications. We are putting the final version of our cryocooler through standard qualification tests and will report on the results we have obtained to date.
