LQS (Space Qualification Lab)

RI-078
Infrastructure
Description

Facility aimed at supporting aerospace companies in the design, manufacturing and testing of nano and micro satellites (up to 70 Kg) and electronic and mechanical components of space, avionic and military systems.

Main technical characteristics

Current qualification capabilities comprises:

Physical properties measurements (mass, centre of gravity, momentum of inertia)
Acceleration test
Pyro-shock test
Combined vibration, humidity, temperature and altitude test
Environmental stress screening
Thermal shock test
Thermal vacuum test
Test facilities and test procedures fully meet the relevant standards for the qualification and acceptance tests (ESA ECSS-E-10-03A, MIL-STD-810-C / F / G and RTCA DO -160D).
