A company specializing in satellite platforms for space communication, tracking, surveillance and remote sensing required a thermal vacuum space simulation system capable of temperature cycling through extreme temperature and pressure changes at a fast rate. System requirements included a temperature range from -55 °C to 150 °C on thermal plate and high emissivity shrouds, easy part loading with a pull-out platen, automated vacuum and temperature control, and custom test recipes.
Using our expertise in thermal vacuum systems for space simulation, our engineers designed a custom thermal high vacuum system capable of replicating the extreme environments of space, with all the custom features and components required to meet their application requirements.
