High performance requirements for the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS)/Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) instrument on the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Cassini spacecraft impose very stringent demands for dimensional stability of metering rods in the camera's athermalizing system.
The effects of various time, temperature, vacuum, and moisture environments on four types of metallized and bare graphite/epoxy, bare graphite/peek samples, and a coated graphite/cyanate ester sample were evaluated.
