1. 0 Introduction and Anomaly Description

An investigation was conducted to determine why the temperature of the Lunar Ejecta and Meteorites Experiment (LEAM) exceeded the math model predictions when operating on the lunar surface.

The LEAM was deployed on the lunar surface at approximately 0200 hours GMT, on December 12, 1972. The experiment was operated briefly to verify that it had suffered no damage during the translunar flight and landing. The power was then removed until the dust covers could be released, after detonation of the Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment (LSP) explosive charges. The temperature, as measured on temperature sensor AJ 11, at noon, in this configuration, was 1760F which exceeded the preferred maximum operating temperature of 15 OOF. (AJ 11, Survival Temperature Monitor, is a temperature sensor located on the experiment internal structure under the radiator plate and which is monitored by the ALSEP at all times.)

When the temperature decreased to 160°F, after lunar noon, the experiment was operated for a short time to allow the mirror cover to be released. A distinct increase in cooling rate was observed after this event. The experiment was finally turned on, on December 23rd. after an attempt, appro:xdmately 24 hours earlier, which had to be terminated when the temperature reached 1500F.

The period between December 23 and December 28 was used to gather background science data with the dust covers on. The command to release the sensor covers was transmitted at 19. 57. 30 GMT on the 28th of December 1972, and verification of squib firing was obtained from the experiment. The temperature profile before and after the command was cyclic, varying between the upper and lower limits of the temperature controller (0°F and 9°F nominal). The period of the temperature cycle did not change after the command, indicating that the covers may not have released, even though the squibs had fired.

The temperature at sunrise on the second lunar day increased at an extreme rate of up to 16°F until the experiment was turned off at 1650F. The profile then exhibited peaks of 192. 5°F and 186. 5°F at sun angles of approximately 45 and 115 degrees, respectively, with a minimum of 163°F at 85 degrees. The experiment was returned to the operate mode at 130°F.

To satisfy a request from the Principal Investigator, the experiment was turned off for a period of eighty minutes around optical sunset at the site. This was done in support of his dust transport theory. The temperature during the following night. was considerably colder than during the previous one, being at -200F with the heater on continuously.

The off/ on technique was repeated at optical sunrise on the third lunar day. The temperature profile was significantly different to that of the second day, being some 45°F cooler at 15 degrees sun angle, allowing the experiment to remain on approximately 24 hours longer. The temperature remained cooler. than previously until around 80 degrees sun angle when the second day profile was followed for the remainder of the third lunar day/night cycle.

The investigation described below was conducted to establish the cause of the anomaly and to recommend an operational plan for the experiment based on the requirements of the Principal Investigator and reliability considerations.

2. 0 Task Description

The investigation was performed by the LEAM Program Of:fice, the ALSEP Thermal Design Group and ALSEP Reliability Group, with assistance from the ALSEP Systems Group.

The tasks performed are summarized below.

A. Prepare a list of potential causes of the anomaly. B. Analyze each potential cause, in detail. C. Review the test history of all LEAM models for details

of configuration, environments and results.

D. Review the film development program for results and selection criteria.

E. Correlate thermal math model with lunar temperature profile to give insight into the problem and predictions of temperatures in the continuous mode of operation.

F. Perform reliability analyses to determine advisability of operating up to various temperatures and advantages of turning off at temperature peaks.

G. Prepare a test plan for the Qualification model. H. Prepare an operational plan for the experiment during

future lunations.

3. 0 Results of Investigation

The results of the study were presented at a meeting with personnel from MSC, Houston, on 13 March 1973. A copy of the presentation material is enclosed as a part of this document.

4. 0 Conclusions

The following conclusions were reached as a result of the study.

A. No single, definite, cause can be associated with the anomaly. The most probable cause is a combination of lunar surface and site effects, including a complicated method of dust transport.

B. The LEAM thermal performance cannot be clearly explained using the detailed math model. A good correlation has been obtained with a simple, 5 node, model which allows good predictions of operating temperatures at the radiator plate. The observed relationship between radiator and electronics temperatures is used to predict their operating profiles.

C. The original thermal analysis and testing performed before flight has not been invalidated by any information found during the study.

D. The LEAM may be operated continuously throughout the lunar cycle. The maximum temperature predicted in this mode is 212°F at the electronics. The reliability is shown to decrease from an original prediction of 80o/o probability of successful operation for two years to one of 61 o/o if operated in this mode.

E. No action items resulted from the meeting with NASA personnel, therefore, the material presented is considered adequate to satisfy the requirements of the study.

"LEAM Anomaly Investigation" - handout documenting results of Bendix study efforts on the LEAM problem issued to each attendee.

In LEAM analysis it was assumed that sensors would not contribute to heat load, therefore, only IR simulation was used in testing. Predicted maximum temperature level of 1500:F was re-evaluated for the final Apollo 17 landing site - no changes were made in maximum temperature prediction. It is noted that the actual operating temperatures do not follow the pre-mission predictions in either level or profile.

The instrument thermal/mechanical design was reviewed from sketches in the handout. The electronics assembly is enclosed in a multilayer thermal bag which is enclosed in a fiberglass box - openings for sensor inputs are provid­ed. The AJ-11 sensor is immediately underneath the internal support assembly adjacent to the heater control sensor.

Predicted forward film temperature max is about 275-300°F. Melting tem­perature for the Parylene-c is 536~ (per Union Carbide) thermal properties for all areas/elements of the experiment were reviewed. Comments concerning Sl3G paint-material is very stable and does not degrade due to long expoaure to solar input.

Thermal performance after mirror cover removal command tenQs to confirm that mirror cover did retract. Thermal performance after sensor cover removal command indicates that the sensor cover did not retract at that time; however, following warm-up at sunrise of the next day, performance indicates that sen­sor covers did deploy.

The rapid increase in temperature immediately after sunrise on the second morning indicates a heat load from the environment - proba~ly the east sensor. A similar load exists in the west sensor in the lunar afternoon. There is some thought .that the sensor covers are only partially deployed. There is a history of similar problems on a roll-up type device on the Apollo 9 LM window covers. In that case, after exposure to temperature extremes, the role-up device would not deploy. The LEAM cover is essentially the same as the covers used on CPLEE where no problems were encountered.

In summary, the difference in thermal performance may be caused by a de­layed (or partial) sensor cover deployment. The variation from one lunar day to another may be caused by accretion of lunar dust on the east, and to a lesser extent on the west, sensor film (and grid) produced by a dust trans-port from charge differences between the lunar surface and the sensor at sun­rise. It is postulated that the surfacP may be charged to a negative 200 to 500 volts while the sensor/grid are at -3v/-7v when the experiment is ON. Based on this, a tentative operational plan calls for t.he ex~riment to be off during sunrise.

Configuration differences between DVT model and Qual/Flight were reviewed. There are no differences between the Qual and Flight models. All changes made from the DVT model test results were verified by test.

A thermal math model (3rd day) has been derived which correlates'with 1 unar performance. Based on this model, electronics temperature is predict­ed to reach a maximum of 21~ at a solar angle of ~ 120.degrees.

Review of potential causes. (Each of the following was considered during the LEAM study.)

1. Actual thin film thermal/optical properties different from those assumed in· model-agreement of four different sources of fUm optical pr~ty measurements tend to rule this out. Melting temperature (536 F) was not reached.

2. Boost failure of film8 (accoustical/Pressure vibration induced). Review of Pioneer experience and ALSEP test data and experiment vent­ing tend to rule this out.

3. Anomalous deployment. Air-to-ground transcript, crew debriefing and photos confirm good deployment.

4. Experiment misleveling/misalignment caused by cover release. Force is much too small to move experiment to any degree.

5. Failure of covers to release - complete or partial. Temperature plots indicate sensor covers did not retract when squibbs were fired. May have deployed on second lunar day.

6. Heater on during day - telemetry confirms that this is not the case. Heater status changed as expected~ Also, system reserve power con­firmed heater on/off change.

7. Taurus Littrow site effects - the surface temperature is somewhat above pre-mission predictions however this cannot explain the LEAM performance.

8. Dust accretion on sensor and/ or radiator. Second and third day indi­cates east sensor optical properties have changed. Dust accretion could explain this change.

9. Errors in telemetered temperature data. Evaluation of telemetry data and calibration confirm correct TM.

Reliability considerations for fUture experime1•t operation were presented. A full family of curves were presented which show probability of meetas the 24 month operating life versus a variety of operating t~peratures and config­urations. It is noted that probability of success (Ps) is reduced with higher operating temperatures, however, (for example) with operation at l00°C the Ps for 24 months is 6?%: at 400c the Ps for 24 months is 80%. These percentages (except for the 4o0c curve) are based on a temperature·profile which contains 160 hrs. of operation at maximum temperature; 150 hours at a lower temperature and the remainder at 4o0c. Based on reliability considerations& the instru­ment can be operated at a temperature profile which peaks at 100 C.

Bendix presented a test plan including instrumentation requirements for the test. The test is not recommended at· this time but may be indicated by future performance data.

Recommendations for fUture instrument operation:

1. Continue present operating plan for this current lunar cycle. (See SMEAR - Apollo l 7 - ALSEP #41) ..

'<

2. Consideration will be given to leaving the instrument on during sunset on 23 March, pending results of the PI. analysis of S'l'DN data.

3. NASA will refine the sunrise/sunset predictions for the Apollo 17 site.

4. No actions are pending from BxA as a result of this meeting.

LUNAR EJECTA AND METEORITE EXPERIMENT DESCRIPTION

The experiment consists of two dual film sensors facing UP and EAST,

respectively, and a single film sensor facing WEST. The sensors and electronics

are housed in an aluminum internal structure which acts as structural support

and electrical shielding.

The sensor and electronic assembly, called the Internal Structure and

Sensor Assembly, is housed in a thermal bag which, in turn, is mounted in an

outer housing. Legs are attached to the outer housing and are used to support the

experiment in the deployed configuration. A radiator plate, with second

surface mirrors, is attached to the Internal structure and ALSEP interface

bracket. The thermal bag is integral with the ALSEP interface bracket.

The complete Internal structure, thermal bag and radiator assembly

is attached to the outer structure via four clevis joints.

The radiator is covered by a thermal mask which protects all of the

top surface except the sensor and required mirror radiator.

Electrical connection is made between the experiment and ALSEP

using a flat cable via a short manganin wire assembly.

The sensors are protected by dust covers which are released by

earth commands. The mirror cover is released by a pair of squibs,

independently of the sensor covers (l) which are released by a separate pair

of squibs. One, only, of each pair of squibs is required to release the

respective covers.

The experiment and its thermal properties are detailed in the attached

Figures and Tables.

Lunar Ejecta and Meteorites Experiment

Configuration Differences

1) Design Verification Test Model to Qual and Flight Models.

a) Redesign of the interface bracket from fiberglass instead of titanium.

b) Movement of the squib attach points to the external structure.

c) Movement of the bubble level away from the interface bracket.

d) Redesign of the East and West sensor openings to cover the frame edges.

e) Redesign of the masking to cover the thermal bag flange which is now part of the interface bracket.

0

f) Front film thickness increased to 3050 A parylene.

g) Front film frame has foam strips added to both sides.

h) Thermal mask over radiator changed to leave 5 square inches of mirror uncovered.

i) Dual sensor suppressors changed to aluminum tape on outer frame.

j) Sensor wiring changed to manganin on outer frame.

k) Bottom of outer structure changed from aluminum to Sl3G paint.

2) Qual Model to Flight Model - No differences.

Test Verification

All changes were verified during Qual and Flight Acceptance testing and

Qual design limit testing.

Film Development Criteria

Objectives

The objectives of the program, as defined by the Statement of Work were:

a. To develop a thin Parylene C film laminate and structural attachment which will withstand the prelaunch, test, storage and trans lunar flight environments, and perform normally for two years under lunar environmental conditions.

b. To develop a thin Parylene C film laminate and structural attachment which will yield a maximum supply of ions and electrons when impacted by hypervelocity micro­particles.

c. To develop a thin Parylene C film laminate and structural and attachment which will satisfy (a) and (b) and result in the smallest mass cross section; thus minimizing the microparticle kinetic energy threshold for penetration of the film.

4. 0 Conclusions

The conclusions made from the evaluations are that:

a. The deposit should be 3000 to 4000 Angstrom units thickness of Silicon oxide over 600 to 700 Angstrom units of Aluminum on a 2800 to 3300 Angstrom units thick Parylene substrate. The laminate is to be mounted on a 97% transparent, beryllium copper grido The aluminum and Silicon oxide are to be vacuum deposited while the Parylene C and grid are free standing on frames. This laminate has the optical and thermal properties required to endure the lunar environment and to allow thermal control of the experiment electronics.

b. A support grid is required to provide mechanical strength and to provide thermal conductivity from the film to the film support frame.

c. The deposition provides adequate ionized plasma upon impact by a hypervelocity particle.

d. Free standing deposition resulting in slightly wrinkled . film is desirable for low temperature survival.

Film Assembly - See attached Figures.

LEAM Thermal Anomaly - Reliability Analysis

Aerospace Systems Division

Ann Arhnr. Mictuuan

The objective of this reliability analysis for the LEAM operational profile is to delineate the temperature/time conditions of reliable operation.

The failure rates for the LEAM experiment as well as the reliability mathematical model were taken from the documents previously submitted by the subcontractor, i.e. time zero.

The thermal profile used as the basis for this analysis is shown in Figure 1 - the power on analysis curve. For analytical simplicity, this curve has been modified by ignoring the small dip at the 900 sun angle. Figure 2 represents graphically the temperature/time relationship of the modified thermal profile for one lunar 'cycle. The first 160 hours shown in Figure 2 represent the time at maximum temperature between 500 and 1300 sun angle. This worst case condition is shown in Figure 2 at 1250 C for 160 hours. The next portion of the curve has been averaged out at lOOOC for 150 hours. The remaining 390 hours of the lunar cycle have been averaged out at 400C based on the failure rates for lunar night and lunar day temperatures.

Table 1 tabularizes the K factors that were applied against the time zero failure rates at various temperatures, i.e. 40°C, lOOOC and 1250C in order to calculate the failure rates at these temperatures.

Figure 3 depicts the probability of successful operation at temperatures of 400C, Ioooc, uooc, 1150C and 125oc. The 400C curve is a prediction based upon the expected thermal profile prior to LEAM anomaly experienced on the Lunar Surface. Essentially, this is the time zero reliability prediction for successful operation. The other curves are based upon the new thermal profile with maximum temperatures as shown.

Comparing the 125°C to the 40°C curve at the 6th lunar cycle (the probability of operating for six lunar cycles), we see that the

: Page 2 73-252-03 13 Feb 1973

reliability decreases from 94o/o to 83%. However, the change from 100°C to 1250C is rather small, i.e. 88% to 83%. Figure 4 delineates the probability of success for degraded operation at 12soc, i.e. the probability of no failures other than loss of a single sensor and housekeeping. If we compare the P

8 for "Less single sensor and

housekeeping" to the P 5 at 12soc in Figure 3, we find that the reliab~lity for six cycles increase from 83% to 90%. The differential is even more significant for two years of operation.

Figure 5 is a reverse reliability curve, i. e. it shows the probability of successfully completing two years of operation if successful at a particular cycle in time. This P S for two years is read directly from the cycle completion point. For example, if after operating successfully at 100°C for six cycles, the probability of successfully completing two years of operation (i.e. another 18 months) at 125°C is seen to be 56%. The PS for two years of operation after ten months of success is seen to be 63%.

Figure 6 - dotted line curve, shows the P5

of the LEAM if the power is shut off between the 50° and 130° sun angle. The PS for six cycles goes from approximately 83% to 93%.

Figure 7 shows the LEAM system failure rate curve based on stresses for each part and associated temperature.
