AbstractAbstract
[en] The state of the art of cryocoolers for space-based electronics and sensors is reviewed. Coolers under consideration include flexure-bearing and magnetic-bearing type Stirling coolers, pulse tube coolers, Vuilleumier coolers, magnetocaloric refrigerators, closed cycle Joule-Thompson coolers, sorption refrigerators, and reverse Brayton cycle refrigerators. The compromises among these systems in terms of reliability, efficiency, size, vibration, and system interface are discussed. 50 refs
