ShareSummary
To prepare the SHOOT payload for launch a series of functional, structural, thermal and reliability tests were conducted at every level of hardware assembly, from materials tests to system level thermal, structural and functional performance tests. The authors present the verification tests and analyses developed and completed at each level of assembly. They discuss the trade-offs considered for, and the success (or failure) of, models and analyses to predict performance results. Finally, they present some lessons learned of potential interest to future cryogenic missions, whether on the Space Shuttle or on expendable launch vehicles.
