Abstract:

When all contact with a weather satellite was lost, it was surmised that thermal cycling had caused one or more mounting bolts to protrude through a heat sink and short the solar array output to ground. Review packaging designs, assure ease of manufacturing and inspection, provide for adequate temperature margins, and consider the mission thermal cycle profile in design and test.
