Cryocooler Electronics Enable Thermal Imaging of Planetary Objects in Deep SpaceIris Technology Corporation received NASA SBIR awards to advance its cryocooler electronics, which control mechanical cryocoolers that enable thermal imaging systems to capture data to improve our knowledge of water and possibly life in space. Originally partnering with the Air Force SBIR program, Iris has since won several contracts to provide its cryocooler electronics on NASA missions — including a mission to examine the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa — and on a satellite mission with the Air Force.
