The use of solar simulation to evaluate the thermal performance of a spacecraft is still relatively new and controversial. Reference 1 reports successful use of carbon arcs in testing the Telstar spacecraft. Additional information on the use of the carbon arc as a solar source should be useful in evaluating its effectiveness as a thermal design technique. At Goddard Space Flight Center carbon arcs have been used for achieving the solar simulation testing of spacecraft sized for the Delta and Scout boosters. This report presents data and experience from such testing, using the results from the flight backup Ariel II (UK-2/S-52) international satellite as an example.
