The invention relates to test equipment intended for bench testing of systems and devices for spacecraft as well as other devices intended for use in space. The proposed mobile test facility contains a vacuum chamber, support structures for the vacuum chamber, a cover for the vacuum chamber, fittings inside the vacuum chamber for installing the test object, a vacuum evacuation system connected with a vacuum pump, where the vacuum evacuation system comprises one or more fore-vacuum pumps and one or more high-vacuum pumps operationally connected with the vacuum evacuation system and capable of exhausting gases from the vacuum chamber, wherein the fore-vacuum pumps and the high-vacuum pumps are connected with the vacuum evacuation system by means of bellows connections and/or flexible tubing, including reinforced tubing, that permit mutual angular and linear relative displacement of the connected parts of the structure, which is made with additional brackets for mounting its parts in transport position onto the vacuum chamber and the saddle support, and furthermore the fittings are also equipped with additional brackets for mounting them to the vacuum chamber in transport position, while the vacuum chamber saddle support with legs secured on the platform are equipped with additional fasteners for mounting other parts of the facility in transport position onto said saddle support and are installed on one or more vibration-absorbing elements preventing the transmission of vibration loads from a vehicle or from other parts of the facility to the parts of the facility that are disposed on the vibration-absorbing elements.
