Long-life assurance for Space Station - Is it an issue?Various issues related to the long-life assurance (LLA) of the Space Station (SS) are discussed. The effects of exposure to atomic oxygen, radiation, thermal cycling, micrometeoroid and debris damage, and the physical aging of polymers on the SS materials are examined. The proper design of the SS truss system and pressure vessels, electronic systems, mechanical systems, and software for LLA is addressed.
