A commercially available imaging infrared radiometer, an Inframetrics 760 system, was subjected to simulated space and Martian environments in JPL's 25ft space simulators for a total of 108 hours.
An innovative new telerobotic inspection system called STAR has been developed to asist engineers in the visual and thermal analysis fo flight hardware being tested in a simulated space environment. This paper describes the architecture of the STAR mechanical and control systems and discusses some uses of STAR to date.
A new multi-axis multi-camera, robotic inspection system has been developed for use inside JPL's thermal/vacuum test chambers wherein satellites and other flight hardware are tested in a simulated space environment.
