NASA, Northrop Put JPSS-2 Satellite Through Vacuum Thermal Test
Northrop Grumman and NASA have tested the next Joint Polar Satellite System inside a thermal vacuum chamber to assess whether the spacecraft could work in simulated extreme temperatures. Engineers had to modify the testing environment for JPSS-2, which will support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration‘s weather-forecasting mission, after they discovered thermal deformation due to an […] More
