NASA Kennedy Cryogenics Test Laboratory
The Cryogenics Test Laboratory, located at NASA Kennedy Space Center, is a consortium for the research, development and application of cross-cutting technologies to meet both industry and government needs. It provides cryogenic expertise, materials research, prototype design, experimental testing and technical standards development for technology products with research institutions and commercial partners.
With the theme of energy-efficient cryogenics, the Cryogenics Test Laboratory helps solve problems in the power, transportation, refrigeration, medical, construction, manufacturing and aerospace sectors.
Technology focus areas include thermal insulation systems (from 4 K to 400 K), integrated refrigeration systems, advanced cryofuel storage and transfer systems (LH2, LO2 and LNG), novel materials and low temperature applications. Its objective is to develop new technology and implement engineering know-how for energy-efficient storage, transfer and use of cryogens on Earth and in space.
