Abstract:
White spots, identified as "mealing," were observed on 10 spare Mars Observer circuit boards, withdrawn from long term storage for use on Mars Global Surveyor. Although the cause of the defects was not established, the handling and warehousing of these flight spares may not have been consistent with their status as potential flight hardware for future projects. Treat flight spares as though they are going to be flown.
