Evaluation of Wire Characteristics for use on Gemini B.

Abstract

Results are presented for a group of tests to determine the acceptability of wire bundles fabricated from Raychem 44 wire (with improved accessories), for use in Gemini B spacecraft. Three test specimens were subjected to a massive overload test (at 5.0 psia, 100 percent oxygen atmosphere); two specimens to an altitude immersion test (24 hours at 1.47 x 10 to the -5th power psia, 36 hour soak in simulated sea water); and two specimens to an insulation resistance test (500 Vdc). Each of the test specimens were also subjected to a preliminary dielectric breakdown test at 1500 Vrms. (Author)
