Space systems & related parts have to undergo stringent testing as part of their design, development, and validation protocols. Since it’s not generally practical to test in actual deep space, an alternative is a simulated environment using a thermal vacuum chamber (TVC). These extreme space vacuum conditions include high temperatures input and control. The customer, an aerospace testing service, needed an enhanced method of heating to compliment the vacuum environment to better detect potential deep space environment related failures during testing in the TVC.
