Abstract
MELFI is the Minus Eighty degrees Celsius L aboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI) is a freezer that will be delivered to NASA as Laboratory Support Equipment (LSE) by ESA.
MELFI requirements imposed a challenging design in several areas as cooling technology with vacuum insulation, a complex welded assembly and a high-speed machine with a specific electronics.
