Quick Shot

In preparation for cryogenic target shots, the area below the OMEGA Target Bay is dedicated to 5,000-lb carts which travel on air from their fill transfer station. Four of the moving cryostat transfer carts (MCTC’s) are shown ready for docking with the target chamber during a recent campaign. With MCTC Operations Engineer, Vera Versteeg, at one of the displays, real-time imaging of the cryogenically cooled target (maintained at 19.5 K) is possible.
