Abstract:
During thermal ambient testing of Mars Exploration Rover (MER), condensation formed inside the test chamber and upon the flight article due to inadequate sealing and improper purging of the chamber during test. Flight avionics circuit boards were damaged. Require (1) periodic certification of all environmental chambers that can be used for environmental testing of critical hardware, and (2) periodic training and certification of all operators.
