The Thermal Vacuum Chamber is part of the Space Qualification Laboratory (SQL).
The SQL is a facility aimed at supporting aerospace companies in the design, manufacturing and testing of nano and micro satellites (up to 70 Kg) and electronic and mechanical components of space, avionic and military systems, providing service activities for the qualification and acceptance to mechanical and operational environmental loads. Test facilities and test procedures fully meet the most rigorous standard established by the European space Agency and military requirements.
