# Kestrel integration plan

**Status date:** 4 June 2026
**Prepared by:** Integration Management

## Test resources

The mandatory temperature test is performed in the large temperature chamber, called **TK-2** in the booking system.

The test requires **four consecutive days** in the chamber: one day for setup and stabilization, two days for the sequence itself, and one day for cooldown and disassembly.

The large TK-2 chamber is the only chamber capable of the complete test. The backup chamber, TK-1, is too small and cannot reach the required lowest temperature.

## Booking

Rigging time is booked through the Test Department. Bookings are made by term and confirmed in the Test Department's weekly bulletin.

## Conditions

- The unit must be delivered and approved in receiving inspection no later than two weeks before the test starts.
- The test cannot be split into stages.
