This viewgraph presentation gives an overview of the X-38 de-orbit propulsion stage MLI performance tests. The objectives of the research include the testing of the deorbit propulsion stage (DPS) multi-layer insulation (MLI) to determine if MLI performance meets or exceeds that assumed in thermal analysis and to determine the performance degradation due to seams.
