An ohmic heating technique for simulating the solar heat input to a spacecraft during space environment testing was developed. Tests of spacecraft radiator sample panels were used to evaluate the heating method for its potential hazard to sensitive surfaces and for its application accuracy prior to use in full scale thermal vacuum tests of flight spacecraft and thermal models.
