Abstract

The mockup channel tests for Space Power Experiments Aboard Rocket (SPEAR) I, SPEAR II, and SPEAR III will be examined in this paper. Specifically, high voltage results of mockup chamber tests will be compared with results of the flight hardware chamber tests and flight experiments. The authors will analyze the results obtained through the different phases of each of these programs and determine the effectiveness of the simulations that were performed in the vacuum chambers.
