Thermal Vacuum Chambers

LACO Technologies designs and manufactures standard & custom-engineered Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) chambers that replicate the harsh conditions of space here on Earth. These chambers combine high vacuum environments with precise thermal control to validate the performance and reliability of spacecraft hardware, satellite components, propulsion systems, and advanced materials before launch. We make it possible for you to bring testing in-house.

What Sets LACO TVAC Chambers Apart

• Custom Engineering: Every chamber is tailored to meet exact customer requirements—size, pressure, thermal range, and instrumentation—rather than off-the-shelf limitations.

• Turnkey Solutions: LACO delivers complete systems, including chambers, pumping packages, thermal shrouds, LN₂ or mechanical cooling systems, and control software.

• Flexibility: Systems can be configured for small CubeSat testing or scaled up for full spacecraft qualification.

• Thermal Performance: Chambers feature advanced shroud designs, cold plates, and infrared heating to cycle test articles through extreme hot and cold conditions.

• Reliability & Accuracy: Built to meet NASA, ESA, MIL-STD, and other international space qualification standards.

• Support & Expertise: Backed by decades of vacuum expertise, engineering support, and global service capabilities.

• Satellite Testing: CubeSats, microsatellites, and full spacecraft payloads.

• Propulsion Systems: Electric thrusters, cold gas propulsion, and related subsystems.

• Materials & Coatings: Thermal insulation, adhesives, and composites for space environments.

• Electronics & Sensors: Space-rated avionics, detectors, and instruments.

• Research & Development: Universities, government agencies, and commercial labs.
