A manned spacecraft thermal scale modeling program is described. The program consisted of the design, construction, instrumentation, testing, data correlation, and associated analysis of a transient thermal scale model (TSM) of the Subsystem Test Bed (STB). The STB was chosen as a representative manned spacecraft for which detailed thermal vacuum test data were available. The STB is a cylindrical vehicle (15 ft diameter by 8.3 ft high) with four docking hatches and six windows. The pressure shell is insulated with multilayer insulation and protected by meteoroid shields. Four truss assemblies were used to support the STB during testing. It was concluded that thermal scale modeling can be used as an effective thermal design/verification tool for manned spacecraft. Thermal analysis can be used in conjunction with scale model testing to provide a verified math model that can be applied to the prototype manned spacecraft.
