This paper reports the development and application of radiation heating facility in China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (CAAA). The facility includes 0 to 150 kW quartz lamps heater,test chamber,vacuum system and control system. The performances of low density thermal insulation materials in deferent low pressures have been studied on the radiation heating facility. The model cross size is 100 mm 伊100 mm. The maximum running time is 2 000 s. The surface temperature of low density thermal insulation materials is up to 1 000 K. The minimum pressure in the test chamber is 10 Pa.
