Large Box WRTF (JUICE)
Complete MGSE Family (PROBA-3)
Structural Models Mass Dummies (TRITON-X)
SAS Lifting Device (HARMONY)

Small Box WRTF and large Box WRTF
(Juice)

COMOTI designed, developed, fabricated and tested two wide range thermal test facilities (thermal tents) in which components and large subassemblies of the JUICE spacecraft were tested in a wide temperature range (80 ÷ 400K) and 1 mbar of Helium. The Boxes are currently at CSL premises.
Operational temperature cycles 80 K – 400 K
Outside Pressure (vacuum) 10-5 mbar
Inside Pressure (He atmosphere) 1 mbar
Overall dimensions (length, width, height)
Big Box 4.5 m × 2 m × 3 m
Small Box 3.8 m × 2 m × 1.2 m

ASPIICS Instrument Transport Container
(Proba-3)

Double enclosure transport container (ISO 5 tight seal inner container, outer container for protection against external conditions) for the ASPIICS optical instruments which equips the PROBA-3 Coronagraph

Complete MGSE family
(Proba-3)

COMOTI developed the entire MGSE family for the PROBA-3 satellites. 

Structural Models Mass Dummies
(Triton-X)

As part of the TRITON-X programme, COMOTI designed, manufactured and tested two structural models for a tank, respectively a payload which shall equip the future modular satellite platform TRITON-X.

Drop test model structure
(Exomars)

The DTMS replicates the mass properties of the ExoMars Landing Platform in both Earth and Martian gravitational mass conditions and allows ground testing of the Landing Legs in multiple operational scenarios.

Egress mock-up platform
(Exomars)

The EMUP carries a Martian weight representative rover model in multiple configurations and allow ground testing for multiple operational scenarios of the rover egress operation.

SAS Lifting Device
(Harmony)

COMOTI designed, manufactured and tested two lifting devices for the SAR antenna which equips the HARMONY mission. The Lifting Device is operable fully wirelessly (incl. remote), being featured with an energy storage and conversion system.
