In the frame of the CRYOSYSTEM A-phase study financed by the European Space Agency, AIR LIQUIDE (France) and ORBITAL HYDRAULIC-BREMEN (Germany) have been studying a -183°C freezer to be used on-board the International Space Station for freezing and storing biological samples. The CRYOSYSTEM facility is composed of the following elements: The OPAR and the QSF will remain permanently on-orbit for the lifetime of the station (12 years) while three CSF units and two TRACKs will support the cyclic upload/download of samples. When one CSF is on-board the ISS, another one is inside the MPLM ready for the next mission, while the third one is on ground.This paper presents the cryogenic design and the analyses of the QSF and the CSF. A breadboard of the ultra-rapid freezing equipment has been built and patented. The good test results of this equipment are presented, as well.
