Planck early results. II. The thermal performance of Planck

Peter A. R. Ade, +249 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20K for LFI and 0.1K for HFI, achieved through a combination of passive radiative cooling and three active mechanical coolers.
