We are using copper tubing wrapped around the Cooling Block to cool it down during pre-flight preparations. The liquid nitrogen will pass through a feedthrough in the bottom flange that consists of two pipes. In the chamber the nitrogen will be contained within the copper tubing. The liquid will evaporate during cooling, passing out the other side of the feedthrough in a gaseous phase.


Please note that in these images, the experiment is upside-down.
