The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers thermal vacuum chamber testing services that simulate the extreme temperatures and pressures of outer space. Space satellites and spacecraft have become increasingly many countries, militaries, and scientific researchers seek to further their understanding of our planet and solar system. Our aerospace lab supports these endeavors by offering an expert and objective opinion on spacecraft, satellites, and other equipment needed to safely and effectively explore space.
What is a Thermal Vacuum Chamber?
A thermal vacuum chamber is a specialized chamber that simulates the pressure and temperature ranges that exist outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. Thermal vacuums create the controlled environment needed to effectively examine how various types of materials and equipment will perform in outer space environments. This presents engineers an opportunity to evaluate a material’s suitability for specific applications while also giving them data to determine the expected service life of various types of materials and components, including:
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
- Polymers
- Ceramics
- Electronics and sensors
