carbonic snow
"The main mirror is frequently cleaned using carbonic snow (weekly) and water (every six months), maintaining its reflectivity to an optimal value of ~88-90%."

dry ice
If it's refrigerated I assume it's this (solid carbon diopxide). Provides a temperature of about -75ºC.

carbon dioxide snow
El sistema CARBOTRAN consiste en que el CO2 al sublimarse absorbe calor del interior de la caja de transporte creando una fuente de frío in situ, con lo cual se obtiene el beneficio de transportar los productos a bajas temperaturas.
A presión atmosférica el CO2 no existe como líquido, la expansión súbita de este provoca la formación de nieve carbónica. A su vez el hielo seco aparece como resultado de la compresión de la nieve carbónica.

1. "Dry ice" is a name sometimes applied to compressed carbon dioxide "snow," i.e. solid carbon dioxide with a temperature of -79 Celsius. Under normal conditions, carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas with a density about 1½ times as high as that of air. Like water, it can occur in a gaseous, liquid, or, solid state, depending on the physical conditions. In addition, carbon dioxide possesses the property of sublimation, i.e., it can pass directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid.
To make dry ice, you start with a high-pressure container full of liquid carbon dioxide. When you release the liquid carbon dioxide from the tank, the expansion of the liquid and the high-speed evaporation of carbon dioxide gas cools the remainder of the liquid down to the freezing point, where it turns directly into a solid. If you have ever seen a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher in action you have seen this carbon dioxide snow form in the nozzle. You compress the carbon dioxide snow to create a block of dry ice.
