| | NASA's Cryogenics Test Lab Offers World-Class Capabilities NASA Tech Briefs - Find Articles |
 | | Cryogenics is defined as the science and art of low-temperature phenomena, but if you ask James Fesmire, lead engineer of the Cryogenics Tested and co-founder of the Cryogenics Test Laboratory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, you'll get a much more comprehensive definition of the technologies being de- veloped there. |
 | | Cryogenics, for fluid management or low-temperature application, is required for rocket propulsion, high-pressure gas supply, breathing air, life-support equipment, electricity, water, food preservation and packaging, medicine, imaging devices, and electronics. |
 | | William Notardonato, cryogenic engineer at KSC, is performing the tests, which originated with the idea that when NASA sends a mission to Mars, an oxidizer and fuel would have to be made from the atmosphere. |
