Northumbria University at Newcastle awarded a contract to Sistem Technology Limited for the provision of a thermal vacuum chamber for satellite component testing.

The chamber includes pumps and a thermal plate capable of reaching pressures of 10^-6 mbar or below, with a thermal control system for the internal volume that allows fixed and cycling temperatures between -35°C and +100°C.

The internal volume accommodates a test unit of minimum size 350mm x 100mm x 100mm, with a minimum chamber volume of 500mm x 300mm x 300mm.

The chamber has at least one feedthrough for power and data communications to the device inside, enabling external control of electronics tests.

The system includes temperature and pressure sensors for accurate operation, does not require cryogenic cooling or liquid nitrogen supply, and is suitable for installation in a laboratory setting on the second floor.

The contract value is AUD 237,600.
