Area of Science:

  • Space science
  • Life sciences
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • The International Space Station (ISS) requires diverse temperature-controlled facilities for life science research.
  • Existing freezers (MELFI, Crew Refrigerator) cover limited temperature ranges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Cryosystem, an ultra-low temperature facility for space-based life sciences.
  • To detail its capabilities for sample preparation, preservation, and storage at cryogenic temperatures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an ultra-low temperature facility (-180°C).
  • Integration of rapid cooling capabilities and a substantial cold volume.
  • Complementing existing ISS temperature-controlled units.

Main Results:
