Differential pressure is used to simulate exposure to varying altitudes depending on design requirements and seek information about adverse effects and unwanted failure modes. Biased or unbiased test environments may be established for suitable simulation. In some cases, space hardware is to operate during flight and/or function for on-orbit power-up. High power and data acquisition vacuum feedthrough arrays allow ORBITEC to verify design performance in real-time. A typical space flight profile subjects hardware from atmospheric pressure (760 Torr) to a vacuum environment of ≤10-7 Torr for a specified duration.
