Short Description
This test rig enables outgassing tests according to ESA-standard ECSS-Q-ST-70-02. During this test the outgassing behaviour is assessed by measuring the weight of the samples before and after thermal treatment. Furthermore, the mass gain of cooled collectors due to condensed matter is measured. By measuring the condensed mass it is possible to evaluate the possible contamination of sensible components (such as mirrors) by outgassed material.

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
To qualify materials for their suitability for space applications, assessment of outgassing properties is required. “Outgassing” is defined as the mass loss of a sample due to vacuum conditioning at elevated temperature.
