The CONE program - An overviewThe Cryogenic Orbital Nitrogen Experiment (CONE) is a liquid nitrogen cryogenic storage and supply system demonstration placed in orbit by the National Space Transportation System (NSTS) Orbiter and operated as an in-bay payload whose objective is to demonstrate needed critical components and technologies. A conceptual approach has been developed and an overview of the CONE program is described which includes the following: (1) a definition of the background and scope of the technology objectives being investigated, (2) a description of the payload design and operation, major features and rationale for the experiments being conducted, and (3) the justification for CONE relating to potential near-term benefits and risk mitigation for future systems.
