Spacecraft with sample refrigerator

摘要

The chamber (3) inside the spacecraft and accommodating the samples is enclosed in a housing (7), in which a heat-absorption component (9) is accommodated. This component is connected by a heat-conductive component (4) to a heat-dissipation component (5), which is outside the outer wall of the spacecraft. The chamber can be enclosed in heat-insulating material (8). The connecting component can consist of a heat-tube. The dissipation component can be rigidly secured to the absorption one, or hinge on it. One or more sample-holders (10) can be mounted inside the chamber, and there can be a heat-shield adjustable in position for the dissipation component.
