Dynavac

The success of the James Webb Space Telescope is exemplified by the stunning and revealing images it has delivered to astronomers since its launch in December 2021. The mission also stands as one of Dynavac’s proudest accomplishments, having contributed to the upgrade of several thermal vacuum chambers to support the testing of the spacecraft and its instruments. The hallmark of Dynavac’s participation was the mission-critical challenge of upgrading the historic Chamber A at Johnson Space Center (yes, the same one used for Apollo spacecraft testing!) to achieve unprecedented deep-space temperature conditions. The goal? Creating and maintaining temperatures as low as -423°F (20K) in a 45ft in diameter and 65ft high test envelope inside the massive chamber. Highlights: ?Dynavac manufactured and installed one of the world's largest helium cryogenic shroud systems. ?The chamber comprised of multiple 12ft wide x 40ft long aluminum shroud panels coated with a specialized high optical absorptivity/emissivity black paint. ?To install the panels in Chamber A, Dynavac welders performed more than 7,000 critical welds, each of which successfully passed x-ray inspection. ?Met NASA's exacting space flight standards throughout development and testing. We're honored to contribute to the next generation of space exploration. The James Webb Space Telescope represents humanity's most ambitious attempt to understand our universe, and we're proud to play a part in its journey. Interested in our space simulation capabilities?

Why do we need to simulate space on Earth? ???? Imagine launching a satellite without testing how it will handle the vacuum and freezing cold of deep space. There's no room for error in space - every part has to withstand extreme conditions. This is where Dynavac's space simulation systems come into play. These systems allow engineers to test critical parts such as satellite components or spacecraft instruments before they are launched. Thermal vacuum chambers recreate heat, ultra-low temperatures and the vacuum of space, ensuring that everything is ready for the real thing. Since joining weisstechnik, Dynavac's expertise has helped us take space simulation to the next level. Together we offer: - Altitude test chambers for ultra low temperatures and space pressure ranges - Test systems that meet stringent standards such as IEC 60068, RTCA DO160, MIL-STD-810 and others Do you want to learn more about our space simulation systems?
