AlcaSpace, a division of Alca Technology Srl, operates successfully in the design, construction and testing of space simulation chambers of various shapes, sizes, type of cooling system and thermal performances. Our TVACs allow you to stress space components or complete satellites at vacuum values compatible with those of space, at temperature variations that can reach -190°C and +150°C. 

Our technological benefit derives from taking advantage of the qualified know-how, developed by our parent company, in over thirty years of experience in the UV and UHV sectors. All our activities are constantly monitored by the UNI ISO 9001: 2015 quality system certified by TÜV, and all our welds are certified according to the EN ISO 3834-2: 2021 standard.
