Principal applications of polymeric materials for various Mariner IV sub-systems were for lubrication, thermal control, and structural application; in addition to evaluating current available data from prior space flights and research, two basic tests were performed to determine best qualified materials; weight-loss test indicated degree of material degradation in vacuum/thermal environment and volatile-condensable-material test indicated probable extent of outgassing materials condensing on critical spacecraft components.
