Abstract

The article focuses on the collaboration between the NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory and RIX Industries to develop advanced cryogenic cooling solutions for the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA). Topics include the challenges of cooling a large-scale radio astronomy system, the innovative Thermoacoustic Stirling-cycle Cryocooler (TASC) technology designed to reduce energy consumption and improve reliability, and the technical adaptations required to meet ngVLA's specific needs.
