The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is currently developing the Low Temperature Microgravity Physics Experiments Facility (LTMPEF), a multiple user and multiple flight facility that will provide a long duration low temperature environment on board the International Space Station. The LTMPEF will be attached to the Japanese Experiment Module (KIBO) Exposed Facility of the International Space Station with an initial flight starting in late 2005. The LTMPF is a self contained, reusable, cryogenic facility containing a 180-liter superfluid helium tank, two experimental packages, and electronics to provide experiment control and telemetry. Two distinct primary experiments will be accommodated during each mission, and secondary experiments requiring no additional hardware beyond that built for the primary experiments will also be accommodated during each mission. Detailed technical capabilities of the Facility will be presented, along with a brief description of the six science investigations currently selected to fly on the first two missions.
