Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory needs HMC Clinic team to design and build 1/10th scale prototype suspension, insulation, and vacuum jackets, and test their cryogenic insulation performance using LH2. The design goal for the team is maximum volumetric efficiency with heat leak less than 1 Watt using only one insulating layer.
