Abstract This paper describes the development of three advanced cryogenic integration devices for future space-based cryogenic systems. The first device is the cryogenic capillary pumped loop (CCPL), a miniaturized two-phase fluid circulator for thermally linking cryogenic cooling sources to remote cryogenic components. Two other devices, a nitrogen triple-point cryogenic thermal storage unit (CTSU) and a hydrogen gas-gap cryogenic thermal switch (CTSW), are also described. Each of the three components will fly on STS-95 in October 1998 as part of the CRYOTSU Flight Experiment. This paper describes the design, operation, flight configuration, and ground test results of each device and provides discussions of several new concepts for cryogenic integration.
