This is
the place that Geoff Gettelfinger worked with when developing the
original soft sided cryostat concept.. They were proposing
urethane coated nylon fabric, bonded with urethane adhesive.
Geoff tested it at LN2 temperatures and it was OK.
Another thought is to lightly inflate with
nitrogen gas so they have some stiffness before filling them
with aerogel, foam beads, glass beads, etc. Seal
–penetrations might also be made this way. Note that ATL
have spacecraft flex-tanks (see below) which might be of
interest.
I’ve got a call into them to see if they can
join our call on Wednesday.
