Altitude Simulation
MD-Kinney's vacuum booster systems are actively in use at a variety of aerospace facilities responsible for performing development and certification tests for altitude simulation. Simulations are typically performed in test chambers equipped with element heaters that can imitate launch pressure decay, on orbit cold-soak, and re-entry heating and pressure elements to assess the performance of an aircraft before being qualified to take flight. A booster system is utilized in the test chamber in order to simulate the near outer space atmosphere during the heat test.
