Abstract
A new type of vacuum layer low temperature thermal insulator is proposed, a reflecting shield which is nontransparent for radiation, having a surface with a regular system of openings. Calculation of the diffraction of the electromagnetic waves allows one to make the total area of the openings close to the area of the shield and thus practically eliminate heat conduction in the insulator by residual gases.
