الوصف: John Welch, The Aerospace Corporation, USA ; ICES203: Thermal Testing ; The 52nd International Conference on Environmental Systems was held in Calgary, Canada, on 16 July 2023 through 20 July 2023. ; Tailoring requirements for spacecraft environmental tests is necessary to ensure that the effectiveness of these tests is consistent with program risk posture expectations and to meet program cost and schedule constraints. A vehicle thermal vacuum test is one of the most costly and time-consuming of prelaunch tests, so it is not surprising that cycle reductions below the four cycles commonly conducted across industry are often proposed. In this paper, technical risks with such reductions are discussed qualitatively and quantitatively as they affect test effectiveness. The impact of inclusion of a vehicle thermal cycle test is also discussed. The vehicle thermal vacuum test remains an essential verification of mission performance requirements and should not be deleted for any priority space program.
