Helio Acquires Full Scale Thermal Vacuum Chamber, Accelerating Qualification of Space Based Systems

The chamber measures approximately five feet six inches wide by ten feet long, with an internal height that extends to twenty-six feet, purpose built to accommodate the deployment of long structures under simulated space conditions. This configuration gives Helio the in-house capability to test and deploy mechanisms and booms while replicating the extreme hot and cold thermal cycling that spacecraft and lunar surface systems experience in orbit and on the lunar surface.
