ALSEP cask cooling performance summary

Abstract

This ATM presents cask cooling performance that was derived from the ALSEP Cask Assembly (ACA) thermal qualification final test results, the Apollo 10 count down demonstration test (CDDT), an Apollo 12 ECS flow test, the Apollo 12 CDDT, and the Apollo 12 count down. By using these results, subsequent cask cooling performance for upcoming Apollo flights can be predicted based on the nominal range of KSC pre-launch conditions.
