Cryogenic Technology and Applications, by A.R.Jha.

This book comes at a time when the future well-being of nations in the 21st century's global economy increasingly depends on the quality and depth of the technological innovations they can commercialize rather than on the "old money" they may have inherited through historical conquests or pure luck bestowed by natural resources. The book deals with just about all aspects of cryogenic technology, which is often the "hidden" enabler of many wide-ranging modem technological marvels ~ ranging from superconducting electromagnets employed to levitate ultra-high-speed trains in Shanghai to ultrahigh purity metallic nano-technology polyamide vapor deposition (PVD) films deposited at 10E-9 torr made possible by cryopumps to the now ubiquitous noninvasive medical diagnostic equipment such as the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) scans.

Soyuz' second mission from French Guiana is readied
One of four mission campaigns currently underway for Arianespace is entering its final phase with the payload integration and completion of basic build-up for the Soyuz that will perform this medium-lift launcher's second flight from French Guiana, which remains on track for a 16 December lift-off.
The mission's Pléiades 1 Earth observation satellite payload has been installed atop the Fregat upper stage during activity in the Spaceport's S3B clean room facility. Fregat is an autonomous and highly flexible upper stage that can be restarted up to 20 times in flight, and is to place Pléiades 1 into orbit, along with its five co-passengers.
Pléiades 1 will be accompanied by Chile's SSOT (Sistema satelital de Observación de la Tierra) optical satellite for civilian and defence Earth observation, and four French Elisa micro-satellite demonstrators for defence-related electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT).
In parallel with this payload activity in the S3B facility, the upcoming mission's Soyuz launcher has completed its basic build-up with the mating of the Block I third stage. This step occurred in the Spaceport's MIK integration building, readying the Soyuz for rollout to the launch pad, where the payload and Fregat upper stage will be installed vertically inside a protective mobile gantry.
Other mission preparations in progress at the Spaceport are Arianespace's next heavy-lift Ariane 5 flight, scheduled for March 2012 with the third Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), along with the lightweight Vega's maiden launch, targeted for January.
Additionally, a Soyuz launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome with six Globalstar satellites is being readied for a year-end 2011 lift-off during the week of 25 December. This flight will be conducted on behalf of Arianespace by its Starsem affiliate.
