In 2026, engineers at ESA’s test centre in the Netherlands sealed Plato inside the Maxwell chamber and ran every one of its 26 cameras and subsystems at once to find out whether the spacecraft could survive its own electronics screaming at each other
In 2026, engineers at ESA’s test centre in the Netherlands sealed Plato inside the Maxwell chamber and ran every one of its 26 cameras and subsystems at once to find out whether the spacecraft could survive its own electronics screaming at each other. The European Space Agency’s Plato spacecraft has cleared its final major qualification hurdle before launch, completing electromagnetic compatibility testing inside the Maxwell Test Chamber at ESA’…
The European Space Agency (ESA) has taken a giant step towards the launch of Plato, its ambitious exoplanet hunter. The Plato ESA mission probe has just passed the demanding tests of electromagnetic compatibility within the Maxwell camera of the ESTEC centre in the Netherlands, demonstrating that all its electronic systems can operate without interference in the space vacuum.With this milestone, the road is clear for take-off on board a Ariane 6…
In March, ESA plans to launch the Plato Space Telescope, which will search and explore Earth-like exoplanets. A milestone has now been achieved.
