FROST is a joint venture with the German Space Agency (DLR) to fly NASA cryogenic fluid management (CFM) technologies on-board the DLR Compact Sat-2. FROST is one of 2 mission options being explored by DLR with a decision forthcoming in early calendar year 2021. ICEE is a CFM experiment that is being considered for flight to the International Space Station. The STMD CFM Technical Integration Manager will be assessing in early Spring which of these 2 projects, FROST or ICEE, will proceed to their respective mission.

FROST will advance LN2 long duration storage and transfer capabilities through a free flyer experiment demonstrating multiple technologies. ICEE will do the same with an ISS payload.
