Abstract:
Technology in the field of fiber optics has been mainly driven by the telecommunications industry. In order for the available technology to be useful for space flight applications, certain assurance procedures are necessary. Results from investigating how to choose a COTs cable that can withstand space flight have been published and presented previously as well as the issues, yet unresolved during recent studies. In order to resolve the issues associated with the usage of COTs fiber optic cable assemblies it was necessary to determine what assurance techniques were the most successful at simulating the long term effects of space flight environment on a cable assembly.
