Abstract—This work solves the problem of reducing the loss of a cryoproduct during its storage on board a spacecraft by using a special cooling system. A calculation is carried out to compare cooling systems such as a throttle cooling system, a gas cryogenic Stirling machine and an air refrigeration unit. Comparing the calculated parameters of the systems, an optimal cooling system was selected for storing cryoproducts on board the spacecraft.
