2、re, it is difficult to perform accurate thermal testing. This is because natural hot air convection is present during ground based testing, and it is not a factor in the microgravity environment of space flight.There have been several instances where this factor has been forgotten and where the resu
3、ltant thermal testing was not representative of the in-flight conditions.Lesson(s) Learned: When performing ground based thermal testing of space flight hardware, care has to be taken to remove the effect of natural hot air convection.One of the most practical ways to accomplish this is to perform t
4、he thermal tests in an oven or thermal chamber where the overall environmental temperature can be raised to be the maximum temperature allowable. In this way, the effect (both heat load and performance) of the hardware being tested can be identified and evaluated.Recommendation(s): See lesson(s) lea
