Description
There is an ISO 8, class 100,000 cleanroom on the 8th floor of the Aerospace Faculty building. The cleanroom was established in 2005 and has officially been registered as an Aerospace Engineering facility since 2012.
Its mission is to facilitate high-level research on space systems while, at the same time, providing students with education and training in a professional environment.
The cleanroom is an immaculately clean laboratory, in which work is conducted as meticulously as possible so that the risk of particle contamination is minimized. The laboratory has various test rigs, a vacuum oven, and a Helmholtz Cage used for testing Attitude Control Systems (ACS) of nanosatellites, among other equipment.
Students and researchers use the cleanroom to build and test hardware for spacecraft, such as satellites. Delfi-C3 and Delfi-N3xt, the two CubeSats launched by the Delft University of Technology, were built and tested in the cleanroom.
