Abstract
Testing began in 1989 to qualify fibers for the natural space environment for high speed, data transmission interconnects on the Space Station. Fibers identified for Space Station systems must qualify over temperature extremes and natural space radiation effects. The authors address the adverse space environmental effects of external temperatures acquired from the LDEF experiment and radiation levels based on Space Station specifications
