## Description

The Disruptive Innovation Centre for Space facility requires environmental testing and verification and validation to ensure that spacecraft, satellites and associated components can be validated for performance prior to launch and/or terrestrial use\. The need for the simulation of conditions which are equivalent to space include near vacuum and a temperature gradient, for this purpose thus a Thermal Vacuum \(TVAC hereafter\) chamber or Space Simulator is required\. See Separate excel document outlining the minimum requirements and desirable feature required from your solution\.
