Cryogenic system design of the next generation infrared space telescope SPICA

The Japanese infrared space telescope SPICA mission, following the successful Akari mission, has been studied at the concept design phase in international collaboration with ESA under the framework of the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015–2025. The SPICA spacecraft is to be launched in 2018 and transferred int...

Zusammenfassung:	The Japanese infrared space telescope SPICA mission, following the successful Akari mission, has been studied at the concept design phase in international collaboration with ESA under the framework of the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015–2025. The SPICA spacecraft is to be launched in 2018 and transferred into a halo orbit around the Sun–Earth L2 to obtain a stable thermal environment where the IR space telescope’s large mirror of 3 m-class in diameter can be cooled to
