The Low Temperature Microgravity Physics Experiments Facility (LTMPEF) currently in the design phase is a multiple user and multiple flight facility intended to provide a long duration low temperature environment onboard the International Space Station. The Facility will provide a unique platform for scientific investigations requiring both low temperature and microgravity conditions. It will be attached as a payload of the Japanese Experiment Module Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) and can house two science instruments each flight. The Facility consists of a 180-liter superfluid helium dewar and electronics to measure and control temperatures, including DC SQUID magnetometers for reading magnetic-salt based high-resolution thermometers. The facility will be launched full of cryogen, and retrieved when the cryogen is depleted. Industrial partners are responsible for building the facility, the electronics and part of the instruments. Principal Investigators from universities and other institutions are contracted to develop a major parts of the science instrument package. Detailed technical capabilities of the facility will be presented in this paper.
