2.2.3.3 ACIS Thermal Testing

ACIS has undergone extensive preflight thermal testing. The ACIS team has prepared models of the thermal behavior of the instrument and detailed analyses of these models have been carried out to verify the models against the test data. As a full description of this testing is out of the scope of this Operations manual we refer the reader to the extensive list of ACIS provided technical documents listed in Table 2.2.

The detailed analysis was done via computer models and the results transferred electronically to Ball Aerospace (BASD) who is responsible for the overall ISIM thermal environment (including ACIS and the HRC). A summary of the results was included as Attachment F of 36-01510.086.
