Elastomeric Seal Development for Advanced Docking/Berthing SystemElastomeric seals ar Elastomeric seals are being considered for application to the Advanced Docking / Berthing System. Currently, three candidate elastomers are being evaluated. To meet the unique requirements of the ADBS, several test fixtures have been built to determine each elastomer s Environmental and operating temperature compatibility Material stability when exposed to Atomic Oxygen and Ultraviolet radiation Adhesion force required to separate Compression set Leak rate These results will be compared with those from the metallic seal development to determine the final seal design
