The test report presents the results of a high-vacuum deployment and rigidization test of a 10-foot-diameter inflatable solar collector. This solar collector was tested in the recently completed Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory's 29-foot-diameter space simulation chamber. A description of this chamber is included. The results of the test indicate that this collector represented state of the art in inflatable solar collector technology. All test objectives including deployment, inflation, and rigidization were successfully accomplished. (Author)
