Introduction With an ever increasing number of space missions demanding the maximum performance possible, the technology of cryogenics in space has emerged as an enabling technology.
Many missions are, in fact, impossible without some form of cryogenic cooling.
Unfortunately the use of cryogenics has nearly always led to a high system cost to the satellite. In order to improve this situation, space cryogenic engineers and scientists have regularly met in a Space Cryogenics Workshop that has, by tradition, been held immediately after the yearly Cryogenics Engineering Conference. The objective of the Workshop is to bring together experts from around the world who are actively engaged in cryogenic programmes for space applications, in order to share their technical expertise and experiences by formal presentations and informal exchanges between participants. The Workshop will cover all topics related to space cryogenics, with an emphasis on the recent ISO mission, cryocoolers, and new technology developments.
