Development of Gas Gap Heat Switch Actuator for the Planck Sorption Cryocooler

Prina, M.; Bhandari, P.; Bowman, R. C. Jr.; Paine, C. G.; Wade, L. A. (1999-07-12)

We present the general principles of gas gap heat switches that impact their performances for the Planck cryocooler, develop two figures of merit relevant to this application, and present initial characterization results ...
Further Studies of the Isotherms of LaNi5-xSnx-H

Luo, S.; Clewley, J. D.; Flanagan, Ted B.; Bowman, R. C.; Wade, L. A. (1997-10)

Complete hydrogen isotherms have been measured using highly stoichiometric, activated LaNi5 over a wide temparature range, 373K to 228K.
Mid-Infrared Optimized Resolution Spacecraft (MIRORS)

Wade, L. A.; Lilienthal, G. W.; Tereby, S.; Kadogawa, H.; Hawarden, T. G.; Rourke, K.; van Buren, D. (1996-08-06)

A concept study was performed in 1994 to develop a mission design for a telescope to achieve the highest possible spatial resolution in the 10-30 micron range within a $200 million mission cost cap. The selected approach ...
Preliminary test Results for a 25K Sorption Cryocooler Designed for the UCSB Long Duration Balloon Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Experiment

Wade, L. A.; Levy, A. R. (1996)

A continuous operation, vibration-free, long-life 25K sorption cryocooler has been built and is now in final integration and performance testing. This cooler wil be flown on the University of California at Santa Barbara ...
