Thermal vacuum test chamber for flight
hardware testing.
September 24, 2019 - QuinStar Technology, Inc. of Torrance, CA, was recently
certified for flight hardware testing by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). After
administering the JPL System Safety Survey and Vendor Chamber Verification Survey,
JPL certified QuinStar's thermal vacuum chamber for testing flight hardware for
JPL/NASA missions.
The chamber enables hardware testing under a simulated space environment. The
6.5 cubic ft. (0.2 cubic meter) chamber handles a temperature range of -100°C to
150°C and achieves a vacuum level of 5 x 10-7 torr. It is equipped with:
- Software interface of automatic pneumatic operation of vacuum system
- Fail-safe over-pressure protection in the event of power loss
- Fail-safe controller for over- and under-temperature protection of DUT in the
event of loss of power or liquid nitrogen coolant (LN2)
- Cold finger to attract outgassing molecules
In addition to the thermal vacuum chamber, QuinStar's environmental test lab
includes thermal, shock, vibration, and humidity testing capabilities. With these
testing processes, our class 10,000 clean room, in-house design and fabrication
capabilities, and flight hardware quality system, QuinStar is well positioned to
provide fully qualified millimeter-wave (MMW) hardware solutions for space missions.
From high-power-handling ferrite components to GaN-based solid state power amplifiers
(up to 200 Watts in Ka and Q-bands), QuinStar is a significant resource for space-qualified
MMW hardware.
Dr. Naresh Deo, Vice President of New Business Development, directs QuinStar's
space programs. For more information on QuinStar's capabilities in space qualified
MMW hardware, email Naresh Deo at ndeo@quinstar.com
