Ratex J Chamber

For the test of subsystems and with the increasing interest in cubesats small versatile vacuum chambers are becoming more interesting for testing. This increasing interest in small chambers allows a quick turn around time for the tests and in case of our Ratex-J chamber it is also possible to connect a big window to observe the item under test.
