The SHOOT Flight Demonstration will provide the technology necessary to resupply superfluid helium in space. The helium dewars in SHOOT have unique requirements, including no detectable leaks, demonstrated structural integrity to allow flight aboard the Space Shuttle, and low parasitic heat leak. The requirements, materials, and processes used to fabricate the two superfluid helium dewars, particularly as they apply to welding, are presented.
