This article presents the main stages and results of development of the project “Mobile Space Environment Testing Equipment Development of "Metamorphosis" prototype for transportation intermodal traffic”. For successful implementation of the project, the project is divided into four stages: 1) Design calculations and design documentation for the design elements of the prototype; 2) Prototype software development; 3) Manufacturing of construction details and prototype assembly; 4) Industrial research and prototype testing. The goal of the project is, based on industrial research, to develop a prototype of the Mobile Space Environment Test Facility “Metamorphosis” transported in an intermodal environment, and to achieve the level of scientific and technical readiness of MSTF from TRL2 to TRL4 (by the scale of the European Space Agency (ESA)) for further development of the project. This project is unique and has no comparable analogs, as all existing test facilities are stationary. The project is implemented by the Riga Technical University in cooperation with the company "Cryogenic and vacuum systems" Ltd.
