Abstract :
A radiation effects facility is described which utilizes multiple radiation sources, vacuum chambers and thermal control to simulate the space environment. Use of the facility for eight months´ continuous testing of thin film flexible materials is discussed and summary results, primarily from in-situ testing, are presented.
