Outgassed solvents, epoxies, lubricants, and other materials aren’t especially wholesome for contamination-sensitive telescope mirrors, thermal-control units, high-voltage electronic boxes, cryogenic instruments, detectors and solar arrays, either. As a result, NASA engineers are always looking for new techniques to prevent these gases from adhering to instrument and spacecraft surfaces and potentially shortening their lives.

The Lockheed Martin (LMT) team developing the U.S. Air Force’s next generation Global Positioning System III satellites has completed thermal vacuum testing for the Navigation Payload Element (NPE) of the GPS III Non-Flight Satellite Testbed (GNST). The milestone is one of several environmental tests verifying the navigation payload’s quality of workmanship and increased performance compared to the current generation of satellites.Other Posts:Intelsat General To Provide Broadband To Sintel Satellite ServicesAerojet tests next generation safety capabilityFormosat-3 observations indicate ionospheric changes precede EarthquakesGIOVE-B completes first year in orbitU.S. scrap plan for joint civil/military weather satellite systemDream Multimedia’s Dreambox Receiver50 years of U.S. space based military weather satellite systemsMDA receives request for additional information from U.S. Department of Justice
