Aims. We present the novel InterStellar Astrochemistry Chamber (ISAC), designed for studying solids (ice mantles, organics, and silicates) in interstellar and circumstellar environments: characterizing their physico-chemical properties and monitoring their evolution as caused by (i) vacuum-UV irradiation; (ii) cosmic ray irradiation; and (iii) thermal processing. Experimental study of thermal and photodesorption of the CO ice reported here simulates the freeze-out and desorption of CO on grains, providing new information on these processes.
