Scientific paper

The main thermal analysis and definition problems and the cryogenic breadboard test difficulties of ISOCAM are reviewed. ISOCAM is an infrared camera experiment to be mounted aboard the ISO (Infrared Space Observatory) satellite. The misssion is to collect data on near infrared wavelength astronomy (2 to 200 microns). The telescope is cooled down through an open loop of superfluid helium. The cold source interface which cools down detectors, stepping motors, wheels, mechanisms, filters, lenses and mirror, is detailed.
