About
XO-VAC is a portable, low-cost desktop thermal vacuum (TVAC) chamber designed for CubeSats, nanosatellites, and small payloads. It simulates extreme space environments by exposing payloads to high vacuum across a wide temperature range. Starting from £48,000, the base model features a working volume of 8.4L (3U CubeSat), temperature range of -25°C to +125°C, and vacuum levels down to 1E-7 mbar. It includes signal and power feedthroughs and is controlled via USB with Windows software included.
