About
The Automatic Control System of Thermal-vacuum-testing is designed for the automatic control of thermal vacuum testing processes for spacecraft within a vacuum chamber. Its primary purpose is to manage the testing course and analyze any off-nominal situations that may arise during the tests. The system was released in 2011 and comes with a guaranteed service life of 5 years. The estimated production and delivery time is 12 months, and it offers the possibility to be adapted to specific customer requirements. It is capable of operating within a vacuum chamber temperature range of ±150 C and can conduct continuous tests for over 720 hours without failing. The system is designed to work with horizontal vacuum chambers with a volume of 600 m³ and can handle more than 750 product test points and over 2000 controlled parameters.
