Space Simulation

No successful satellite construction is possible without extensive testing under conditions that are as real as possible. Thermal vacuum chambers and thruster testing are the backbone of such tests. Since this usually requires large to very large vacuum volumes to be generated efficiently in the shortest possible time, customized vacuum valve solutions are crucial.

Reliably controlling and isolation off large volumes in high vacuum or ultra-high vacuum requires vacuum valves that are not only adapted to the volume requirements by their size, but also by their technology. Larger sealing surfaces in larger valves always mean a potentially greater risk of leakage. To avoid having to compensate for these with additional vacuum pumping power, high-performance vacuum valves from VAT are the most economical choice.

Since economical vacuum generation is also determined by a high conductance in the vacuum valves used, VAT also offers the optimal solution here.
