Introducing RAL Space's National Satellite Test Facility

The National Satellite Test Facility, operated by RAL Space, is set to ensure that spacecraft up to 7 tonnes will survive launch and the harsh conditions of space. Mini-bus sized satellites will be shaken violently to simulate rocket launch conditions, and “baked" in the UK's largest space test chamber to check their resilience to the extreme temperatures they will face in Earth's orbit and further afield. The NSTF also features an impressive electromagnetic compatibility and antenna test chamber where satellites' communications systems can be tested securely.
