Custom Turnkey Thermal Vacuum Systems

XL furnishes custom Thermal Vacuum Systems for pre-flight testing of space hardware. We design, fabricate, install and commission chambers, thermal shrouds, high vacuum pumping systems, and thermal conditioning systems engineered specifically for your application. Our range of sizes includes systems small enough for testing satellite components to systems large enough to test fully assembled spacecraft.

Key performance factors include:
  • Operating levels to 10-8
  • Temperature range +150°C to -267°C (423K to 6K)
    • +150°C to -180°C (423K to 93K) via gaseous nitrogen
    • -186°C to -196°C (87K to 77K) via liquid nitrogen
    • -196°C to -267°C (77K to 6K) via gaseous helium
  • Ramp rates to 10° C per minute
  • Uniformity to ±2° C
  • Vibration Isolation System to 1.5 Hz for optical testing
