Cold Stowage KickoffCold Stowage consists of hardware, both active and passive, that transports science to/from and stows science on the International Space Station (ISS) in a temperature-controlled environment

- Active and passive systems provide more flexibility and redundancy
- Cold Stowage will assign experiments to assets based on mission requirements and best use of space.
- Temperature range for science support is -160°C to +48°C on ISS and -95°C to +40°C for launch and return
- All hardware is compatible with SpaceX and Northrop Grumman (NG) vehicles.
- Cold Stowage hardware is maintained by a joint effort between ESA, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and the JSC Cold Stowage Team which prepares the hardware for flight, including launch and landing support.
- The Cold Stowage team is based out of Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX.
- The Cold Stowage team also works in and maintains the Cold Stowage lab at KSC and Wallops.
