Immediately prior to becoming airborne connection is broken to the second cryogen and on-board cooling is achieved by venting the container to space environment causing sublimation of the solid first cryogenic, or, alternatively, the container may be left sealed and cooling results from triple-point transition of the solid cryogen.
