Northrop Grumman’s cryocoolers offer high reliability for critical space missions, including missile defense, climate science, astronomy, and weather tracking and prediction

Northrop Grumman’s pulse tube cryocoolers have operated on-orbit for more than 300 combined years, offering customers the peace of mind that comes with a long track record of success.

Our pulse tube cryocoolers operate without moving parts, often exceeding their designed lifespan many times over with no degradation in performance.

Supporting Complex Missions

Our cryocoolers support some of the most demanding and complex space missions on orbit, including NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The designs are scalable and can meet the needs of large-scale and robust spacecraft, and for smaller, more proliferated spacecraft designs.
