Test Campaign Opportunities pilot
A call for the Test Campaign Opportunities pilot edition can be expected in spring 2022. This pilot will be for university student teams who would like to receive support in conducting an environmental test campaign. The objective of this opportunity is the knowledge transfer from ESA to students on environmental testing know-how and standard practices. Students will be guided in the preparation of their 1-2 week test campaign in the CubeSat Support Facility , where they can make use of the Thermal Vacuum Chamber to recreate the vacuum and temperature conditions in space, and an Electrodynamic Shaker system to mimic vibrational loads experienced during launch to test their item(s). The item(s) under test can range from a component/ subsystem to a fully integrated CubeSat. Detailed information on key activities will be disclosed in the call.
