During the two weeks of thermal vacuum testing a representative forward panel was successfully operated in a variety of simulated environmental conditions. Performance limits for both high and low load operations were established. Confidence in the stable operation of the panel throughout its typical operating range was verified by the testing, and design studies were conducted to analyze the effects of the payload bay door, and the panel deployment angle, on performance.
