In space, satellites are exposed to different vacuum conditions depending on their altitude. In addition, during their orbit around the earth thermal loads, depending on whether the satellite is on the sunny side or in the Earth’s shadow. Our system is designed to withstand the loads, particularly in VLEO, i.e. with orbital periods and therefore thermal cycles of approx. 90 minutes and shadow times of approx. 30 minutes. Of course, tests with lower cycle duration requirements are also possible. cycle duration.

Thermal vacuum test

How does your technology behave under extreme conditions? Our thermal vacuum test simulates environments with extreme temperatures and almost complete vacuum. This test is crucial for applications that need to function reliably under must function reliably under the most demanding conditions - be it in space space, aviation or special industrial scenarios.

Typical applications:

Satellites and space components
Permanent stress under space conditions
High-performance optics and sensors
Electronic systems for vacuum or high-altitude environments

Goal: Ensure functionality and durability under extreme conditions

Your technology - ready for use under extreme conditions!

Thermal vacuum cycle test

Rapid changes between heat and cold can put extreme strain on systems and materials. under extreme stress. The thermal vacuum cycle test simulates these dynamic conditions conditions, such as those that occur in orbit or in special terrestrial scenarios. scenarios. Ideal for testing system stability and material material behavior under realistic operating conditions.

Typical applications:

Satellites and space probes (simulation of orbital conditions)
Components for high-altitude flights or stratospheric balloons
Testing of systems for extreme temperature cycles in industry

Goal: Testing material and system stability under repeated temperature changes

Changeable conditions? No problem - we ensure safety and reliability.
