Radiative cooling of telescope • Would the telescope be thermally disconnected from the spacecraft, it would cool down radiatively: • A mass of 400 Kg of Al with a 3m2 surface blackbody radiating to cold space would get to 4 K in 44 days (more or less the cruise to L2). • The key is then to limit the heat transfer from the spacecraft and from the sun, earth, etc. • Planck did it very well using V.grooves to limit radiation, low conductivity struts and pipes. • We might be able to do better with FPP: • Little power dissipation from detectors • Lower number of pipes / Waveguides • Use of Passive Orbital Disconnecting Struts (PODS) • Use of part of the 20K pulse tube cooling power (or a second, dedicated one) Telescope 30K or less Conductive heat transfer Radiative heat transfer Spacecraft 300K
Spitzer: Gamma-alumina/epoxy composite struts (yellow) : Better than fiberglass (COBE) and Titanium struts.

Heat Load Budget • On the 0.1K stage: • Superconduncting wiring for 200 (?) SQUIDs multiplexing 2000 detectors, + first stage SQUIDs dissipation (2 mW) • Supports for focal plane assembly (cold plate, horns, filters) • On the 4K stage: • Wiring for readout electronics • Support system to 20K stage • Load from 0.1K cooler • On the 20K stage • Load from support system to 30-40K radiatively cooled stage • Load from 4K cooler (300 mW) • On the 40K stage • Load from support system to 300K stage • Residual radiative load through V.grooves • Load from 20K cooler (partial)
