Abstract The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) sponsored creation of a database on the performance and maturity of space cryocoolers in the prototype, flight qualified, and flight categories. The database was originally developed by The Aerospace Corporation a few years ago and was presented to the community in printed as well as in electronics format. With the help of industry partners such as Ball Aerospace, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and others, the database has been updated with more current information. The additional information on the coolers, along with the interactive form and search feature, are presented in the paper. The data are supported with graphics indicating the changes in the performance trends. AFRL is actively soliciting input from space cryocooler industries and agencies to provide information for coolers not included in the survey.
