1. A vapor collection system comprising:
a shielded environment;
the shielded environment comprising sidewalls extending from a rim to a top edge, wherein the shielded environment is defined inside of the sidewalls;
a condensation surface in the internal volume, the condensation surface maintained at a temperature between 2° Kelvin and 100° Kelvin;
a collection receptacle comprising an orifice that interfaces the condensation surface; and
a heating element located in the shielded environment that is configured to direct heat to a heat region at or beyond the rim.

11. A vapor collector comprising:
a shielded environment defined by a cover,
a condensation surface in the shielded environment, the condensation surface configured to be maintained at a temperature between 2° Kelvin and 100° Kelvin, when at the temperature;
a collection receptacle within the cover comprising an orifice that interfaces the condensation surface; and
a heating element located in the shielded environment that is configured to direct heat to a heat region at or beyond the rim.

17. A gas collecting arrangement comprising:
a shielded environment defined by a cover;
a condensation surface in the cover;
a means for maintaining the condensation surface at a temperature between 2° Kelvin and 100° Kelvin;
a collection receptacle that interfaces the condensation surface, the condensation receptacle configured to retain liquified gas that condenses on the condensation surface when at the temperature; and
a heating element located in the shielded environment that is configured to heat a target region at or beyond the rim.
