    E N V l RONMENTAL ACCEPTANCE TEST BACKGROUNDAt the outset of the Apollo Program, a one-time qualification of a component orsys tem design was performed. The qualification provided a reasonable margin ofsafety fo r the expected environments that the hardware would experience during sto r-age, transporta tion, handling, and ground te s ts ove r two miss ion duty cycles.At that time, it was proposed that a rigorous qualification prog ram was not ade-quate in itself to provide flight quality hardware , and that each flight item should besubjected to som e environmental testing as a pa rt of acceptance. Although most func-tional components and sy st em s underwent acceptance testing, the detailed test p,lanswere left to the individual desi gners and sys tem s engineers. Most testing was limitedto functional bench tes ts at room tem perat ure and pre ssu re. A few componentsreceived a functional te st afte r a brief exposure to vibration. This vibration wasapplied to the equipment in the most sens itive axis and a t various vibration levels up tothe expected flight-vibration environment. A few elect ronic component vendors, whowere experienced in criti cal military p rog ram s and in other NASA prog rams, per-formed temperature limit test s at their own discretion during buildup o r during finalacceptance testing.The fi rs t contractual attempt to impose specific environmental acceptance testrequirements was in November 1965. These re quirements were to have been imple-mented on the Block I command and service module (CSM) ut were canceled inMay 1966 because the Block I vehicles were in an advanced sta ge of assembly, andremoval from the spacecraft of components requiring acceptance testin g would havebeen necessary. The requ irement was placed on the Block I1 spacecraft in Feb-ruary 1967.-

    U. S. Air Force ProgramsThe U . S. A i r Force required acceptance vibration testing on a majority of itshardware. Both random and sinusoidal vibrations were requir ed a t te st levels repre-senting the flight levels and fro m 3 to 6 decibels below the qualification level . In addi-tion to other U.S. Air Forc e requirements, the f ir st stage of the Titan 111 launch

    vehicle was static fired. This firing essentially subjected the hardware to a vibrationtest at the maximum environment.

    N A S A George C. Marshall Space Flight CenterThe NASA George C . Marsha ll Space Flight Center had no formal requ iremen tfor acceptance vibration testing on Saturn launch vehicle hardware; however, somehardware did receive acceptance vibration testing. Each completed stage of the vehiclewas stati c fired, which subjected the components to some vibration before flight.

    Gemini ProgramGemini components as well as the complete spacecra ft were subjected to accept-ance vibration tes ts before flight. Components were tested throughout the prog ram,whereas vehicle testing was discontinued after the third spacec raft. The vibrationlevels were 7 5 percent of the qualification level.

    Industrial PracticesAn indus trial survey conducted by the Aerospace Industrie s Association of1America (AIAA) indicated that 80 percen t of the companies surveyed used acceptancevibration tests. The average level used during testing was 60 percen t of the qualifica-tion level. A total of 91 percent of the responding companies recommended acceptancevibration tests.Whether uniform cr ite ri a had been applied to acceptance vibration test ing offlight ha rdware by the cont ractors was not known. The extent of the nonuniformity ofthe CSM acceptance vibration testing was determined by evaluating acceptance t es tplans, proc edures , and control drawings. Of the 415 hardware items, 303 did notreceive a n acceptance vibration test. The hardware it ems that were vibration sensitiveand those that experienced fail ures during qualification vibration testing were delineatedon a master l ist . This list contained many items that had not been subjected to vibra-tion acceptance testing, fu rther emphasizing the need for an adequate vibration accept-

    In early 1967, after the Apollo fire, spacecraft acceptance test practices werereviewed extensively. A questionnaire survey of Apollo subcontractor and vendoracceptance tes ting was conducted. The questionnaires included 79 questions concern-ing the subcontractor and vendor acceptance tes t plans and objectives. To secure arepresenta tive sampling of the varied technologies, 21 CSM and 12 lunar module (LM)components wer e se lected f o r the survey. Thi s survey revealed the inadequacy ofenvironmental acceptance te sts and, in many cases , thei r nonexistence. The vibrationacceptance test levels we re often based on the expected flight level s. Unfortunately,many of the expected vibration levels were so low that the ear ly environmental accept-ance tests did not revea l e r r o r s in workmanship and manufacturing processes. How-eve r, many of the se fault s were discovered la te r in the spacecraft checkout cycle; thi ssituation delayed the progr am and resulted in the use of excessive manpower. Accept-ance tes t environments must be se ve re enough to detect faults, yet not s o severe as toweaken or fatigue the hardware to the point of r educing its useful life. In recognit ion ofth e generally too low o r nonexistent spacecra ft environmental acceptance test levels, aneffort was undertaken to establi sh new levels and requir emen ts fo r the Apollo Program.V I B R A T I O N ACCE PTAN CE TEST1 NG

    The study of early Apollo acceptance and qualification vibration fa ilures revealedthat workmanship and manufacturing faults not detected by the 3.5g to 4g root meansquare (rm s) levels during acceptance te st s were l ater revealed by the 7.8g r m squalification levels. Earl y in the Gemini Progr am, acceptance levels slightly higherthan 4g rms were imposed before the qualification testing of a component. This rela-tively low acceptance level (early Gemini acceptance pro gram) permitt ed one of everytwo quality faults to ent er the qualification prog ram, whereas the levels used i n theearly Apollo P rogr am permitt ed two of every thr ee such fau lts to ent er the qualifica-tion program. At the beginning of the Gemini flight progr am, the vibrat ion acceptancelevel was rai sed to 6.2g r ms , and 45 additional quality faults were screened fr om thepreviously acceptance-tested flight hardware; some of these could have resu lted incri tic al failures during the mission. Fr om the data, it was apparent that ther e w a s athreshold level below which many quality fau lts would not be detected. Also, the dataindicated that the nominal threshold o r minimum acceptance level should be establ isheda t approximately 6. Og rms .Environmental exposure was used mo re extensively for acceptance testing in thesuccessful unmanned spacecra ft program s. Also, the levels used wer e much higherthan those used in the Apollo Progr am. Fo r instance, ther mal vacuum and vibrationwer e used fo r acceptance testing of the Mariner IV spacecraft. A 9g r m s vibrationlevel was used for acceptance testing, and a 16g rm s level w a s used for qualificationtesting.Based on the data obtained from the as ses sme nt of the Gemini experience and theother spacecraft programs, a more rigorous acceptance vibration test program wasinstituted on Apollo spacecraft components. A level of 6. l g rrns and the spectrumshown in figure 1 were adopted as the Apollo spacecra ft minimum acceptance vibrationlevel. This shape spectrum was selected because the qualification tests for many CSMcomponents wer e conducted to it and at 1.6 t imes t his level, which was consideredsatisfactory.

    10. Too soft potting permit ting excessive movement of components and wiringFaults expected to be exposed by acceptance thermal/thermal-vacuum tes ting are listedin table I. The number, duration, and severity of t es ts were not to cause overs tre ssin go r degradation of the capability of the hardware to pe rform its intended function. Wherepossible, all normal, alternate, redundant, and emergency operational modes weretested.

    The acceptance tests were to be performed with st ric t adherence to the environ-ments and te st procedures. The hardware was calibrated and alined before acceptancete st s were conducted. Adjustment or tuning of the hardware was not permitted duringtesting unless the adjustment wa s normal to the inse rvice operation.For environmental acceptance testing, a fai lure was defined as the incapabilityof the component to per fo rm its required function under the conditions and duration

    specified in the acceptance tes t specifications. After any rep airs , modifications, o rreplacements during or af te r completion of acceptance tests, retesting w as required toensure the acceptability of the hardware. Retest requir ements were to be proposed andsubmit ted to NASA fo r approval.A re tes t t ime limit was established for each type of component. A total acceptancetest time, including the anticipated ret est time, was established for each componentand included in the qualification test requirements.

    H a r d w a r e Assembly LevelA hardware assemb ly level was selected such that the dynamic transf er functionof the st ru ct ur e caused a minimum magnification or damping of the input to the internalpar ts. Additional considerations were the assembly level of replaceable sp ar es (blackbox level) and the capability of the assembly to be operated and monitored duringtesting.

    M o n i t o r i n gFunctional te sts o r continuity tes ts, or both, were conducted on all componentsbefore, during, and after the environmental acceptance test s. If complete functionalverificationwas impossible during the acceptance tes ts, because of limited tes t time, thencritical crew safety and mission su ccess functions were given priorit y. All other circ uit s

    After all fai lure s were repaired, the unit was subjected to a retest . The contrac-tor was not authorized to grant waivers for acceptance test s. Also, the hardwa re wasnot to be accepted without the required acceptance retest unless a waiver had beengranted by MSC. In no case was the accumulative acceptance te st time, plus the antic-ipated mission time, permit ted to exceed the qualification te st time for that environment.

    EN Vl RONMENTAL ACCEPTANCE TEST1 NG IMPLE MEN TATIO NI N THE APOLLO PROGRAMSeveral LM and Block I1 CSM spacecraft had completed assembly and were incheckout when t h e decision was made to implement the more rigorous environmentalacceptance tes t program. Thus, only select ed components were removed from thesespacecraft fo r acceptance vibration testing. The effectivity fo r component select ionwas different on the ear ly manned spacec raft because the spacecra ft had already beenassemb led when the tes t program was initiated.

    V i b r a t i o n T e st C r i t e r i aThe criteria used for component acceptance vibration test selection were asfollows.First manned CSM and LM. - For the first manned CSM and LM, only cr ew safe tyequipment was tested. A crew safety (Criticality I) component is one i n which afail ure by itself o r in combination with an undetected failure could create an associatedsingle failure point that could impair c rew safety. Crew safety equipment was definedas that which, if disabled, could result in lo ss of ab or t dapability, lo ss of caution andwarning, loss of voice communication, inadverte nt engine firi ng, lo ss of a ttitude control ,

    or lo ss of an habitable environment. Prov ision of redundancy did not automaticallyremove equipment from the c rew safety cat egory because redundant equipment of likeconfiguration could contain the same workmanship fault.

    Second manned CSM and LM. - For the second manned CSM and LM, cr ew s a f e t yand mission su cce ss (Criticality I and I1 (primary objective)) equipment wa s tested .A mission success component is one in which a failure by itself could cause the lossof a mission o r a prim ary objective.Third manned CSM and LM and succeeding spacecraft. - For the third manned

    CSM and LM and succeeding spacecraft , al l selected components (Cri ticali ty I, 11,and I11 (secondary objective)) were tested. The list of components selec ted fr om allcategories for acceptance vibration testing is contained in appendix C.The acceptance vibration test criteria (fig. 1) in a number of ca se s exceeded theoriginal qualification levels. Therefore, a significant quantity of LM and CSM hardwarerequi red requalification to the 7.8g rm s spectrum shown in figure 6. Requalificationwas required on 19 of the 65 CSM components and 26 of the 83 LM components that weresubject to acceptance vibration requirements. These components ar e identified inappendix C. In numerous cases, the acceptance test level w a s modified slightlyto avoid the necessity of requalifica-tion and yet satisfy the intent of thenew acceptance tes ts. An example of a

The inc rease i n workmanship failuresshown i n figure 9(b) during the period from September 1968 to June 1969 was attrib-utable, i n pa rt , to the increa sing number of component types being subjected to accept-ance vibration testing. The increa se i n thermal/thermal-vacuum fail ures shown infigures 10 and 11 resulted f rom additional types of components being integra ted intothe progr am. Finally, the fail ure s caused by test e rr o rs remained at a level muchhigher than expected.

    C O N C L U S I O N S A N D R E C O M M E N D A TI O N SBefore mid- 1967, very little emphasis w as placed on environmental acceptancetesting as a method of detecting defects in Apollo spacecraf t hardware . Although

    rigoro us environmental acceptance te sts were implemented late, the tes ts were bothcomprehensive and effective. To provide an effective sc reen for workmanship andmanufacturing defects, environmental acceptance tes ts must have minimum levels towhich the hardware will be subjected. These minimum levels must be establishedindependently of flight levels and conditions.

    Figure 11.- Acceptance thermal test failure trendsfor LM panel-level assemblies.Based on the Apollo experience, the following recommendations are made forfuture space progra ms.1. Formal environmental acceptance test requirements should be imposed earlyin the program. These requir ements should be imposed ea rly in the design stage toensure that proper tests can be conducted and that adequate monitoring of hardwarerespo nse during the test can be accomplished.2. Environmental acceptance tes ts should be conducted at a specific level, equalto or great er than an established minimum level, that provides a n effective sc re en forworkmanship and manufacturing defec ts. This level should not be established as apercentage of the qualification level. Because the purpose of the envi ronmental accept-ance test is to sc ree n fo r workmanship and manufacturing defects, it is logical that allcomponents should be capable of withstanding the sam e environmental level . Therefore ,the environmental acceptance levels should be considered when specifying qualificationlevels on future progr ams.

    3. A study to determine optimum environmental te st level s should be conducted.The Apollo Program used a specified minimum level o r the flight environment level,whichever was greater, as the crit erion f o r acceptance testing of hardware. A studyshould be conducted to dete rmine whether a more effective level can be establishedfor future progr ams.4. For an effective te st program, more rigorous test discipline should beenforced. As an example, of the 11 961 units acceptance vibration tes ted on the ApolloProgram, 22.9 percent (188) of the 819 failures resulted from test err or s. Of the4286 units acceptance thermal/thermal-vacuum tested , 29. 1 percen t (199) of the 685failures resulted from test err or s.

    INTRO DUCT IONAn industrial survey was conducted in December 1967 o obtain background andsupporting data fo r evaluating the Apollo thermal/thermal-vacuum test pract ices andestablishing new the rmal/thermal-vacuum requir ements fo r the Apollo spacecraft.The following space vehicles and pro grams were surveyed.1. Surveyor2. Syncom3. Applications Technology Satellite (ATS)4. Orbiting Geophysical Observatory (OGO)5. Pioneer6. Intelsat I117. Nimbus8. Biosatellite9. Lunar Orbit er10. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Agena payload11. Burner I112. Orbiting vehicle (OV-)13. Mariner

    Generally, components were sub jected to both qualification and acceptance tes ts, withthe exception of the Burner I1 and OV-1 pro gra ms. In these two progra ms, funding waslimited and maximum use of previously qualified components was made. Consequently,qualification and acceptance te st s were conducted only on components of new design. Inthe OV-1 program, only the fi rs t two flight vehicles were acceptance tested .

    Detailed data for the GSFC payloads flown on the Atlas-Agena, Thor-Agena, andDelta- Agena launch vehicles were not obtained. However, most of thes e componentswere acceptance tested at anticipated missio n tempe rature levels, and the qualificationtest levels were 8 K (15" F) higher and lower than the acceptance test range.

    COMPONENTTEST1 NGQualification and acceptance testing at the component level involved controllingthe environment of the test article in a test chamber and recordi ng its performance.Gemrally, for test articles cmtaining i&mdi!!y rmmted C O i i l p O i i e i i i S , the test articie

    was mounted on a test fixture and th e temperature ext remes were measured at themounting surface. The test articles were operated in their simulated mission environ-ment and the performance recorded.The component acceptance and qualification test temperatures for various pro-grams are summarized in figure E!-1. The unshaded portion of the bars representsthe acceptance test tempe ratur e limits, and the shaded portion of the bars representsthe qualification tem per atu re margins. Considerable variation existed in both theacceptance and qualification temperatures among programs. However, the averageacceptance test temperature range for all the programs was from 273 to 314 K (32" to105" F). The ave rage qualification test temperature range was from 260 to 326 K(8" to 127" F), 12 K (22" F) above and 13 K (24" F) below the acceptance temperature

    levels. Figure B -2 shows the acceptance temperature range of the programs reviewed.The average temperature sweep was approximately 41 K (73" F), wherea s the adoptedApollo acceptance tes t temperature sweep was 56 K (100" F).

    Figure B - 2 . - Industrial practice fortherma l acceptance testing.he vacuum chamber pressurewas probably the most consistent valuein the total thermal/thermal-vacuumtes t requirements. Nearly all areas surveyed specified a value of 1 . 3 3 3 mN/m(1 x torr) or less (table B-I) , but two prog rams specified 0 . 1 3 3 3 mN/m(1 x torr). In al l cases , the tes t articl e was operating during the entire test,including chamber pumpdown.

    SYSTEM TEST I NGComplete integrated sys tem te sts generally consisted of placing the space cra ft ina vacuum chamber that had the capability of simula ting the expected thermal-vacuum

    environment. The environment included a pressure of 1 . 3 3 3 mN/m (1 X tor r ) orless and a simulation of the external the rmal environment.methods used for thermal simulation were to simu late the average environment sinktemperature by means of zone panels along the chamber walls and to simu late theenvironment ex tremes by means of so la r s imulators and liquid- nitrogen- cooled cham-ber walls. During spacecraft testing, the normal modes of operation were veri fied andcomponent temperatu res were monitored.

    2The two most common

    Fo r spa cic raf t qualification testing, self-induced heating and the worst- cas ecombination of environmental extremes (maximum o r minimum sol ar constant, maxi-mum o r minimum coating degradation, and maximum o r minimum planet temper atu reand albedo) were used generally as the stimul i in the test. Component temper ature sand system performance were monitored during these tes ts. The temper atures offlight components were not allowed to exceed the qualification temperatu re limits .

    SURVEY RESULTSThe following specific conclusions wer e drawn from th is survey .1 . A margin of approximately 1 3 K (23" F) between the acceptance test tempera-tu re levels and the qualification test temperature levels occurred.2. The average acceptance test temp eratu res were fro m 273 to 3 1 4 K (32" to105" F), with the exceptions of the Mariner and Lunar Orb ite r.

    23. Vacuum chamber pressure was 1 . 3 3 3 mN/m (1x to rr ) or less.4 . The equipment was operating during the test. The time at steady-state levelsand the number of tem peratu re cycles to which components were exposed varied widelyamong the progra ms.
