Thread to consolidate “how long will the hook and loop tape last” conversations.
https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhAWaAz7Btc1sb90ky6nhRRCgsgBIQ has an analysis of uses of the loop tape on the hatch covers. I am estimating the amount of contact with the hatch covers at 20% of one side at each use.
Net result: if hatch cover use is randomly distributed, the loops aren’t likely to wear out. If you see something wrong in the spreadsheet LMK and I’ll update.
We’re more likely to see issues with the hooks on each side of the hatch. In particular, the low hatches that face the driver station (2x rocket, 2x cargo ship) are where we’re going to see wear.
