SIMEON: A new testing facility for stratospheric balloons

Intespace won the tender launched by the CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) for carrying out a new testing facility. Bestowed with the gentle name of SIMEON (SIMulateur d'Environnement Opérationnel Nacelles), it will reproduce on the ground the conditions that are encountered in flight by nacelles, equipment or the scientific instruments on-board the balloon flights.
