Welded Electronic Module Fabrication

Abstract

A pilot facility for the fabrication of welded electronic modules has been developed at the Goddard Space Flight Center for the purposes of: (1) providing a quick-reaction group in the research and development phases of module fabrication, and (2) determining in detail the requirements in terms of facilities and trained personnel to insure the production of high quality welded modules. The experience gained in the successful application of the welding technique to modules in Ariel I (the International Ionosphere Satellite, 1962 o1) and Explorer XVIII (the Interplanetary Monitoring Platform, 1963 46A) has provided a firm base for the utilization of this concept in future spacecraft programs.
