Environmental thermal chambers are essential tool for testing navigation equipment in condi-tions close to real. This article describes the design and operating characteristics of thermal chambers withrespect to application in various technology microelectromechanical systems testing. The design choicesand optimization are taking into account that thermal camera must operate inside the inner frame of threeaxes test table. Thermal chamber optimal choice for testing microelectromechanical systems based inertialmeasurement units are driven by four main areas with respect to navigation equipment test laboratory.Discussed is the chamber design and characteristics that minimizes constaruction and operating cost of the system.References
