The RESHETNEV company is creating a new thermal vacuum testing complex for spacecraft. It will simulate conditions as close as possible to real space – vacuum, extreme temperatures, and exposure to solar radiation.
The complex will become one of the key elements of the enterprise's testing base. It will include two installations with volumes of 220 and 2,400 cubic meters, allowing for testing of both individual elements and large spacecraft.
The equipment will be used to confirm the characteristics of satellites and their components before launch. This makes it possible to assess the behavior of the equipment in orbit in advance and reduce operational risks.
Currently, the installation of cryogenic screens – a key element of the setup – is being completed at the facility. They simulate the cooling effect of space, absorbing thermal radiation and creating the necessary low temperatures for testing.
Such technologies allow for the most accurate reproduction of outer space conditions on Earth and comprehensive testing of equipment in a controlled environment.
