Scientific paper

An electric motor for the Infrared Space Observatory was tested. This stepper motor derived from a space qualified component is able to run under vacuum at liquid helium temperatures. Its superconducting winding allows it to run with an electrical heat dissipation of less than 1 mW. Themotor test program included endurance tests at cryogenic temperatures (10K) and vibration tests at liquid nitrogen temperature. The motor torque was measured down to 8K.
