The main aspect closely related to vacuum technology and aerospace technology comes from the simulation of the space environment. Various spacecraft, such as launch vehicles, artificial satellites, manned spacecraft, space stations, space probes, and space shuttles, all operate in the natural vacuum of the universe during their flight in space.
The main link between vacuum technology and aerospace technology comes from the simulation of the space environment, as various space vehicles such as launch vehicles, artificial satellites, manned spacecraft, space stations, cosmic probes, and space shuttles operate in the natural vacuum of the universe during their flight in space.
Therefore, in addition to being directly affected by the vacuum environment of space, they are also influenced by solar radiation, various charged particles, and temperature. These factors can cause changes or damage to material properties; instrument sensitivity failures, which can disrupt the operation of these vehicles and even lead to casualties among astronauts.
To this end, it is essential to establish experimental devices that simulate the space environment on the ground. Only through ground simulation experiments before various vehicles go into space can we understand the conditions and characteristics of spacecraft operating in space, eliminate various hidden dangers during flight, and ensure the safety of the vehicles and astronauts. To meet these requirements, various simulation devices have been established on the ground.
