Skylab program CSM verification analysis report

The application of the SINDA computer program for the transient thermodynamic simulation of the Apollo fuel cell/radiator system for the limit condition of the proposed Skylab mission is described. Results are included for the thermal constraints imposed upon the Pratt and Whitney fuel cell power capability by the Block 2 EPS radiator system operating under the Skylab fixed attitude orbits.
