The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) performs thermal vacuum testing services that evaluate the performance of various components used in spaceflight-related applications.
What is Thermal Vacuum Testing?
Thermal vacuum testing evaluates the performance and reliability of materials, components, and devices in controlled environments that mirror the vacuum pressures and extreme temperatures experienced in space flight. Equipment needs to be heavily tested to ensure that it has the resiliency and reliability needed to withstand the environmental stresses that accompany orbital missions. Thermal vacuum tests rely on advanced technologies that enable environmental testing chambers to reach the high pressures and temperatures necessary to fully examine a material or device’s effectiveness in environmental space conditions.
More About Our Thermal Vacuum Testing Services
Our cutting-edge environmental testing lab offers thermal vacuum testing services to support our clients as they research and develop their space flight hardware. Our lab’s ability to simulate the thermal and pressure conditions of outer space enables us to identify flaws or potential areas of concern as our clients optimize the design of their materials and equipment. Our services help our clients do the following:
- Examine how their products and materials respond to real-world conditions
- Address workmanship issues or faulty designs
- Estimate the service life of the equipment
- Ensure compliance with standards and regulations
The Importance of Thermal Vacuum Testing Services
Thermal vacuum tests are an invaluable tool for aerospace manufacturers seeking to develop and evaluate equipment intended for orbital missions. For example, thermal vacuum chambers play a crucial role in the development of satellites before their deployment. Aerospace labs such as ATS allow manufacturers to create a proactive approach to assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their aerospace products. Failure to conduct competent thermal vacuum testing may result in the following:
- Increased risk of failure
- Possible disruptions or delays
- Costly repairs or catastrophic failures
