How much and what kinds of new hardware are launched to space each year on satellites? Who performs space quolification for these new equipments? Satellites are placed in large "thermal-vac" chambers where vacuum and temperature ranges of space are simulated. One of the Bond movies (Dr. No? The Man with the Golden Gun?) rented a large NASA thermal-vac chamber as a set, maybe you can google a picture. Manufacturers rent or own these chambers to test their products. Several levels of in-house software and hardware testing are performed by larger manufacters. Check the manufacturers' websites re payload changes from satellite series to satellite series. They are competing with each other with these upgrades, and may list them on their websites. |

Check out the NASA site under outgas testing. This tests various materials under vacuum conditions. They have a freely accessible database which will give you a good indication of the various materials and suppliers tested. |
