The paper presents an overview of the results of industrialization of the ISAMS Stirling cooler technology, achieved through cooperation with the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Seven batches of coolers have been produced and delivered to international customers for various space applications. A summary of in-orbit flight heritage is presented showing flight telemetry data for detector and mounting interface temperatures, vibration and other drive parameters. Thirteen of the 50–80K cooler models have been launched, with many of the coolers having already exceeded their required lifetimes. Highlights of cooler commissioning and performance in orbit are presented, with discussion of lessons learned, focusing on the last three production batches of the 50–80K Stirling cooler. |
