Multilayer Insulation for In-Space Cryogenic Applications

The course will cover Multilayer Insulation (MLI) for cryogenic applications, including how it is different than traditional spacecraft MLI. The course will touch on the historical development and include recent testing for design and analysis of systems to better understand and predict system performance. The gap between analytical performance via design and fabrication and assembly will be discussed to help the analyst understand and specify the appropriate insulation design to meet their needs for high performance multilayer insulation.
