5 Outgas Test Report

Outgassing test was performed on five units. A total mass loss (TML) of 1.00% and collected volatile condensable material (CVCM) of 0.10% were used as screening levels for rejection of spacecraft materials. The outgas test was performed in a vacuum environment of less than 5 × 10 –5 torr according to ASTM E 595, for a duration of 24 hours, at 125°C. The TML, CVCM, and the amount of water vapor recovered (WVR) were measured after the test.
