Above the thin layer of the atmosphere, space forms a fascinating yet unforgiving environment: microgravity, extreme temperature fluctuations and pressures reaching extremely high vacuum levels. For researchers, these conditions are not obstacles but opportunities to discover new principles in science and technology. Long before experiments make their way onto a rocket or to the International Space Station (ISS), laboratories are required in which the vacuum of space can be simulated on Earth, allowing every variable to be tested and every process to be understood before heading into orbit. At the centre of this recreation of space is something invisible yet essential: vacuum technology.
