This is a dilution refrigerator which is capable of cooling things down to near absolute zero, and these scientists are trying to get it to its former working state.

The dilution refrigerator needs gravity to work, so that would stay on earth. But Kislat says there’s other machines that can make sure the detectors stay cool.
