SPACECRAFT CONDITIONING (EGO COMPOSITE GROUND COOLING TEST PROGRAM),

Abstract

Many orbital payloads of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration such as those associated with the S-27, Nimbus, EGO, and other space missions will employ large clam shell type nose cones. This test was conducted using a Type 15 Air Conditioner to evaluate the leakage, vent flows, static pressure and velocities within such a clam shell type nose cone. The total air into the cone was monitored with the air exiting from the vents and the Agena duct cehck valve. The shroud deflections along the separation seams were measured simultaneously with air flows. (Author)
