The University’s Auckland Space Institute (ASI) requires a Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC). An important part of space missions is the testing of the space structures and payloads. Obviously, the mission equipment must be able to sustain the conditions in space. The payloads and structures need to be tested in TVAC’s, because not only the vacuum conditions are challenging for the equipment, but also the thermal cycles, which occur in space. All facilities of the ASI are basically designed to enable the development and pre-launch qualification of payloads and structures with a size up to 16U Cubesat and a maximum mass of 50 kg. The TVAC will be used in most cases for standardised tests like those described in ECSS-E-10-03A or GSFC-STD-7000A.
