UPDATE May 13, 2013: Expedition 35 Flight Engineers Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn completed a five-hour spacewalk on Saturday to replace a pump controller box on the International Space Station’s far port truss, NASA officials reported Sunday. Long-term monitoring of the replacement pump will be required to determine whether the issue has been fixed. May 10, 2013: Astronauts … [Read more...]
Vibration-Free Cooling Technology to Replace Mechanical Compressors in Sensitive Space Applications
Researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands have developed a new technology for cooling optical detectors on spacecraft that could help the sensors better detect weak “space signals” that originate from far-away, extremely cold sources. The new development is part of a project commissioned by the European Space Agency. Current cooling systems use mechanical … [Read more...]

Electronics Cooling Simulation Software Enables ‘Earlier Virtual Prototyping’, ‘Fewer Design Iterations’ in MDA and EDA Domains
Mentor Graphics, a developer of electronic hardware and software design solutions, has announced FloTHERM XT, an electronics cooling simulation software package that enables “earlier virtual prototyping, fewer design iterations and advanced ‘what if’ analysis for improved product quality and faster time-to-market benefits.” According to Mentor Graphics, the new software is … [Read more...]
Laser Cooling Method is “One Step Closer” to Smaller Medical Devices, “Self-Cooling” Computer Chips
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a new laser cooling method that could replace extreme refrigerant-based cooling systems in medical devices and satellite cameras and help develop futuristic computer chips capable of cooling themselves. If we are able to harness the power of laser cooling, it would mean that medical devices that … [Read more...]
