[The] Low Temperature Microgravity Physics Facility... LTMPF is a liquid helium dewar with attached electronics that will house two instrument inserts, keeping them cooled below 2 Kelvins for six months. The facility permits real-time monitoring of the data and allows transmission of commands for telescience operations. Precision sensors of temperature, pressure, and acceleration, modified to function well in the cosmic ray environment of Earth orbit, are supplied as parts of this facility. 2, record 1, English, - low%20temperature%20microgravity%20physics%20facility
