This paper discusses the thermal vacuum testing of a Self-Contained Heat Rejection Module (SHRM) currently being developed for use with Shuttle payloads and future spacecraft. Two weeks of testing were conducted in the NASA Johnson Space Center Space Environment Simulator Laboratory in October and November of 1975. The testing included demonstration of deployable spacecraft radiators with fluid swivels, variable return temperatures, and a dual-mode pumped fluid radiator/vapor compression refrigeration system. In addition, an evaluation was made of a contact heat exchanger used as the intercooler. The test articles and systems are described and the test planning and objectives discussed. A summary of the significant results of the testing and conclusions drawn from the testing are presented.
