Orbiter thermal control subsystem development

Selected major hardware components and subsystems of the shuttle orbiter are described. These include the hardware configurations, development problems and solutions, performance requirements and attainment, major hardware fabrication problems and solutions, development test objectives and implementation, and utilization of test results for hardware refinements. The subsystems selected for discussion are the space radiator, the ammonia boiler, the flash evaporator, and avionics cold plates.

Space Shuttle Orbiter ECLSS.

The Orbiter Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) provides the functions of atmosphere revitalization, crew life support, active thermal conditioning, and airlock support for EVA and docking activities. The ECLSS must satisfy the requirements of orbital missions with four to ten crewmembers and mission duration of a few hours to 30 days and the requirements associated with an atmospheric horizontal flight test program and ferry flight missions. The ECLSS development plan utilizes an ECLSS ground test article and thermal/vacuum testing to support the first horizontal flight test at the end of 1976. The ground testing and horizontal flight test program certify the Orbiter ECLSS for the first orbital flight in early 1978.
