SPACE/ENVIRONMENTAL SIMULATION

Space simulation technology is focused on creating an environment in the lab that mimics space for testing components that will eventually be sent to high altitudes. Pressure control and temperature control are two key elements which are required to simulate space. To achieve this, Angstrom’s vacuum engineers design a pressure vessel capable of reaching high vacuum using cryogenic or turbomolecular pumps in conjunction with a mechanical roughing pump. The temperature control system involves a combination of actively heated and cooled surfaces along with the use of solar selective coatings to absorb excess radiation and remove it from the system. The temperature range of the shroud depends on the method of heating and cooling and a typical range is -60ºC to 120ºC.

We encourage you to give our engineers a call to discuss your process and how our space simulation technology can work for you.
