Nowadays, testing remains a key milestone in the verification of the thermal control subsystem of any space project. TVAC tests have two main goals: the verification of the correct operation and survival of the system under thermal environmental conditions representative of the orbital scenario, and the reduction of the thermal model uncertainties by means of thermal balance tests and later...

The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a collaborative effort between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The primary objective is to better understand the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth’s Magnetosphere. The primary payload is the Soft-Xray Imager (SXI) instrument, which is an x-ray telescope build by the...

On 25 January 2024, the LISA project was formally adopted by ESA as the next L-Class Mission in the Cosmic Visio Programme. The LISA mission´s primary objective is to measure gravitational waves in the 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz frequency band using heterodyne laser interferometry. The Phase Measurement Subsystem (PMS) is a core payload instrument responsible for the phase extraction of the...
