Space Environment Simulator
Located at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the Space Environment Simulator is a large, vertical cryopumped test chamber capable of achieving ultra-low pressures and a wide range of thermal conditions. Test articles are loaded through the top of the chamber using a movable crane. Personnel entry is through a side opening access port. Two small viewports are located on the chamber side at different elevations. The chamber is used for thermal vacuum and thermal balance testing, subjecting large test articles to high-heat conditions.
