Integration of a Stirling cycle cryocooler into a flight system will require careful attention to the thermal, structural, and electrical interfaces between the cryocooler, the instrument and the spacecraft. These issues are currently under investigation by National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Goddard Space Flight Center personnel in laboratory tests of representative longlife cryocoolers. An 80 K cryocooler has been instrumented as a testbed for vibration control systems characterization. Initial vibration data using a new six-DOF force dynamometer is presented in this report.
