This 12” X 24” thermal platform has been specifically designed to be used for functional and reliability testing of space flight hardware. It will be installed in a space simulation thermal vacuum chamber. The coolant channels are hermetically sealed to prevent any leakage into the vacuum chamber. In this case liquid nitrogen is used. The liquid distribution and vapor return pipes and manifolds have been designed to deliver uniform temperature across the entire surface of the thermal platform.
