Planetary and Space Simulator:

Construction




Tech drawing
Technical drawing of the Planetary and Space Simulation Chamber.

RS Hall
The simulation chamber stands in the experiment hall of the Institute of Space Simulation of DLR, Köln, Germany.
Above the chamber there is the reservoir of liquid nitrogen for the cooling system. The facility is operated and controlled by a PC-based control panel (bottom).
Open chamber
The chamber's interior is accessed by lifting the cover which contains the cold ceiling made of copper.

Cold compartment
The inner cold compartment made of copper with a diameter of 1.40 m is available for space simulation experiments. We see here also the outer shell which isolates the inner compartment thermically by vacuum.
