Aerospace test solutions Satellite Testing Thermal cycling: used to subject the DUT (Device Under Test ) to the alternation of high and low temperatures within a temperature range that is typically -100°C to +100°C, while the pressure is maintained at values below 10-6 mbar (high vacuum). While the satellite is subjected to thermal cycling, it is possible for RF (radiofrequency) signals to be exchanged across the chamber through dedicated wave guides. These tests may take up to a month. Thermal balance: made for the validation of the thermal-mathematical model of the satellite. Tests are...

TVC construction The external body The external body of the testing volume (vessel) is produced from high-quality stainless steel and its design is supported by the FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis in order to optimise the steel thickness withstanding the pressure differences between the internal and external environments. Welding and surface finishing are treated to minimise leak rates and outgassing, making it possible to reach deep vacuum. The thermal field The test volume of the TVC is a thermoregulated stainless steel cylinder, known as the shroud, which transfers the heat to the...

Aerospace test solutions Satellite Testing TVC construction The vacuum generation plant The vacuum generation plant consists of a set of high quality and widely known brand of vacuum pumps. The first vacuum stage (primary or rough pumping) is performed by dry pumps, eliminating the risk of oil back streaming and characterized by very low maintenance. It allows the transition from ambient pressure to values of around 10-2 mbar in a short time. The second stage, consisting of more sophisticated pumps (cryogenic pumps), allows the achievement of a high vacuum with elevated reliability on the...

ACS “World leader in Environmental Testing of Aeronautics Components and Systems” Environmental chambers in which it is possible to control pressure in order to simulate the altitude above sea level are a fundamental instrument in the aeronautics industry, both civil and military. Over the years, the tests necessary for the development and qualification of new equipment have become increasingly more complex and integrated. The need to have numerous parameters under control at the same time and to simulate extreme conditions has made the classic “altitude test chamber” a necessary...
