Abstract:
A technician inadvertently shorted a connector on the test battery to a wrong harness connector. The resultant battery short circuit destroyed the test battery, the battery wiring harness, and the flight harness connector, and ignited the thermal blanket. Batteries should be mated to flight spacecraft only in a fully discharged state, and several cable and connector design suggestions are made.
