The budget TVAC-test chamber

The Orbit NTNU organization has developed a low-cost vacuum heater as part of efforts to simplify environmental testing of components. The team members are students at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Orbit consists of 65 students across 9 technical groups, in addition of a marketing group and the board. Together we cover everything from mechanical design and electronics, to software engineering, as well as management. This way, we appeal to almost every field of study.
