Description of Driving Event:
When performing ground based functional testing of space flight hardware, it is difficult to perform accurate thermal testing. This is because natural hot air convection is present during ground based testing, and it is not a factor in the microgravity environment of space flight.
There have been several instances where this factor has been forgotten and where the resultant thermal testing was not representative of the in-flight conditions.
