Application of Vacuum in Aerospace Industry

Vacuum technology is indispensable in the aviation industry, covering a wide range of fields from material handling to component manufacturing and performance testing, ensuring the safety, reliability and performance of aircraft.

 Vacuum Applications in the Aviation Industry

    The main link closely related to vacuum science and aerospace technology comes from the simulation of space environment, because various space vehicles such as launch vehicles, artificial satellites, manned spacecraft, space stations, space probes and space shuttles all fly in the natural vacuum of the universe during the process of space flight.

    Therefore, in addition to being directly affected by the vacuum environment of space, they are also affected by solar radiation, various charged particles and temperature. These factors will cause changes or damage to material properties and instrument sensitivity failure, which will destroy the work of these aircraft and even cause casualties to astronauts.

    Therefore, it is very necessary to build a space simulation experiment device on the ground to simulate the space environment. Because only by passing the simulation experiment on the ground before various aircrafts go into space, mastering the working conditions and characteristics of spacecrafts in space, and eliminating various hidden dangers during flight, can the safety of aircrafts and astronauts be ensured. In order to meet these requirements, many simulation devices have been built on the ground.
