The Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL / Liège Space Center) is the foremost institute for space instrumentation, technological research and testing. CSL is the applied research center of Liège Université, specializing in design, development, integration, qualification, and calibration of space instruments.
Thirteen flight models of the future ESA mission have undergone alignment and vibration testing at the Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL).
The results of the vibration and cooling tests - carried out at the Liège Space Centre - are very encouraging for this unique prototype.
An article published on the Belgian Earth Observations website about the BELSAR project in which the ULiège CSL is taking part with other members of from UCLouvain, UGent and the Royal Military Academy.
CSL performs various qualifications on space instruments or units by submitting them to environmental space conditions, in a perfectly clean environment.
CSL develops, assembles, calibrates and/or tests observation instruments and relevant sub-systems capable to operate in a harsh environment, in order to serve the demands of the space science.
Starting from know-how coming from Space Projects, the Technology Partnerships Program offers services of research & development support and training, in space or other industrial domains.
Scientific Space Systems Program is focused on the space instrumentation in close link with the Scientists (mainly Astrophysicists).
Created by the University of Liège, the CSL is a research centre focused on space instrumentation with an environmental test facility serving the ESA, the space industry and regional companies.
