About
Climats’ TVC (Thermal Vacuum Chamber) space simulators test spaceflight equipment prior to first flight, replicating the vacuum and thermal conditions of orbit. These chambers can achieve vacuum levels down to approximately 10⁻⁷ mbar and temperatures ranging from roughly -185°C to +165°C using liquid nitrogen circulation, with optional infrared radiation or spatial temperature-gradient simulation for satellite component and payload qualification testing.
