Abstract:

This lesson provides several examples of incompatible materials in propulsion systems that posed a major risk to Cassini and Mars Global Surveyor, and may have led to the loss of Mars Observer. Propulsion system components should be tested for long term chemical compatibility with propellants. Heritage systems should be requalified for mission environments for which they were not originally intended.
