Space Environment Simulation Laboratory
Space Environment Simulation Laboratory, Research laboratory at Johnson Space Center, Houston, US
The Space Environment Simulation Laboratory contains testing chambers that recreate space conditions, including extreme vacuum and temperature variations for spacecraft system validation.
The laboratory, established in the 1960s, supported critical testing for NASA missions including Apollo program equipment and International Space Station components.
Engineers and scientists from multiple countries gather at this facility to conduct experiments and develop solutions for space exploration challenges.
The facility operates specialized chambers year-round to test materials, components, and entire systems designed for space missions under controlled environmental conditions.
The laboratory maintains chambers capable of simulating solar radiation, vacuum conditions, and temperature extremes ranging from -250 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
