The project "Establishing a center of material tests in extreme conditions, including simulated space" is to be presented at the Russian-Armenian innovation cooperation center March 4.

The author of the project is Hrant Yeritsyan, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Senior Researcher of the National Research Laboratory. Dr. Yeritsyan is the author of three monographs and 150 papers and founder of the field of radiation physics of solid bodies at the Yerevan Institute of Physics.

The project envisages the creation of an enhanced device using the facilities of the currently operating vacuum chamber for space simulation and testing of materials designed for extreme conditions.

The press service of the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in Armenia informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that the Armenian National Institute of Metrology, Nor Amberd research center and Institute of Welding are involved in the project.

The project is of high importance for testing materials and electronic space modules, which has great commercial potential.
