Technicians from Kodak ... will test the entire telescope optics at the Plum Brook Space Power Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center near Sandusky, Ohio. ... This huge chamber—36 m high, 30 m wide—has been used to test the deployment of large space systems and the Mars Pathfinder airbag landing system. It offers low vibration levels, and, when it is outfitted with liquid helium shrouds, it will simulate the thermal environment at the L2 operating location of JWST. 2, record 1, English, - liquid%20helium%20shroud

La France a de plus pris une part capitale dans la réalisation des unités de focalisation, en concevant les quadripôles supraconducteurs principaux du LHC [Large Hadron Collider] et leur assemblage dans leurs masses froides. Les 392 aimants quadripôles, désormais tous dans le tunnel, garantiront la focalisation des faisceaux, c'est-à-dire la maîtrise de leur dimension millimétrique tout au long de leur trajectoire. Ces aimants sont insérés dans des enceintes à hélium liquide avec des aimants correcteurs ainsi que bien d’autres composants. Cet assemblage complexe, appelé masse froide, est lui-même entouré par un cryostat et un module d’asservissement. Le tout forme ce que l'on appelle une section droite courte. 2, record 1, French, - enceinte%20%C3%A0%20h%C3%A9lium%20liquide

Pour pouvoir remplir le cryostat d’hélium liquide, sans utiliser beaucoup d’hélium, il faut d’abord prérefroidir les 2 réservoirs avec de l'azote liquide afin d’abaisser la température du cryostat à 77 °K. Après avoir attendu que tout l'intérieur du cryostat se soit thermalisé à cette température, on chasse l'azote en envoyant de l'air sous pression dans les réservoirs. [Puis], on pompe le gaz [...] à l'intérieur des réservoirs afin d’éviter qu'il ne gèle lors du transfert d’hélium liquide. [...] Une fois que le vide est fait, on fait rentrer de l'hélium gazeux puis on siphonne doucement. Comme le siphonnage d’hélium se fait par le bas du cryostat, des vapeurs froides d’hélium vont d’abord refroidir la bobine et le réservoir. [...] Le réservoir est donc amené à une température de 4, 2 °K, ce qui est la température de l'hélium liquide. 1, record 4, French, - cryostat%20d%27h%C3%A9lium%20liquide
