news News from the Cryogenic Qualification Model (CQM) tests in Liège
The Cryogenic Qualification Model (CQM) of the Planck satellite is beeing tested at the CSL (Centre Spatial de Liège). On Monday 26 September, HFI goes down to 100/101 mK on the cold end of the dilution cooler, in the CQM S/C configuration, at CSL plants, in Focal 5 vacuum chamber. The bolometer plate reaches 107 mK. It was achieved during a second cool down, after 3 weeks of investigations or/and instrument test phases involving only the 4K and 1.6K stages.
