FIELD: testing technology; thermal tests of space objects. SUBSTANCE: proposed stand includes vacuum chamber with space object inside it, solar-radiation simulator, vacuum chamber wall cooling unit and evacuation system. Solar-radiation simulator consists of several autonomous sections. Each section is separated by heat-absorbing shields. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of thermal tests due to making testing conditions more realistic. 6 dwg
