This project assesses the relative benefits and penalties associated with the use of dispersed and centralized refrigeration/heat pumps for thermal control of spacecraft. The performance and limitations of free-piston stirling cycle heat pumps (either linear electric motor or free-piston stirling engine driven) for spacecraft waste heat management will be determined, and the characteristics of an electric motor driven stirling heat pump will be demonstrated through laboratory testing of a breadboard model configured for pumping waste heat to an elevated rejection temperature
