SAC-B Thermal Vacuum Test preparation

This photo shows the SAC-B satellite just prior to installation into the INPE-LIT Thermal Vacuum Test Chamber. Our CUBIC instrument is on the left side of the satellite with our aperture pointing roughly towards the camera (it is covered by a red plate to protect the thin beryllium foil that defines the aperture).
