DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITY (STRATOSPHERE CHAMBER) FOR UPPER ATMOSPHERE RESEARCH AND COMBINED ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

Abstract

The Air Force Missile Development Center Stratosphere Chamber is an altitude-temperature-humidity-infrared-vibration simulation facility designed for advancement of missile and space systems. Unique features of the equipment are the ability to automatically control, program, and record environment conditions. Repeatability of test conditions is the objective of the facility. Accessory instrumentation for monitoring of specimens and automatic digital data logging are provided at the panel. Complete specifications and capabilities of the Stratosphere Chamber were compiled for use by project test engineers who propose to use the facilities of the Chamber to test their equipment.
