This paper presents the new ESA -ESTEC large EMC facility, called Maxwell. The net dimensions between the absorber tips of this EMC chamber (14.5m x 10.7m x 11m) make it compatible with Ariane-5 single passenger launch configuration satellites, in line with the other Environmental Test Facilities already existing at ESA - ESTEC, complementing the mechanical vibration (HYDRA), acoustic (LEAF), thermal vacuum (LSS) and antenna/payload radio-frequency test facilities (CPTR). Access for the specimen to the EMC chamber is made possible through a large dimension door (6m wide x 11m high), using a non-conductive 5m x 5m air cushion pallet sliding on an anti-static epoxy coated floor. A specially designed air cooled high power dissipation wall provides the possibility of testing high power telecommunication satellites with a dissipation capability for RF spots up to densities of 3W/cm2. High cleanliness absorbers lining the ceiling, the floor and the man doors have been installed as well as state of the art fire detection and suppression systems in order to ensure a safe testing of Flight Model satellites.
