Spacecraft instruments requiring cryocoolers to cool infrared focal plane arrays have increased complexity in the overall design with respect to power and thermal management. The use of mechanical cryocoolers can drive spacecraft solar array and thermal radiator dimensions, and spacecraft designers must be prudent in keeping these dimensions feasible.
