ABSTRACT:
A cryogenic cooler is provided for use in craft such as launch, orbital and space vehicles subject to substantial vibration, changes in orientation and weightlessness. The cooler contains a small pore, large free volume, low density material to restrain a cryogen through surface tension effects during launch and zero-g operations and maintains instrumentation within the temperature range of 10.degree.-140.degree. K. The cooler operation is completely passive, with no inherent vibration or power requirements.
