Problems in the Construction of a Space Environment Simulator

Abstract

Goddard Space Flight Center is constructing a space environment simulator which has advanced the state of the art of environment simulation. Problems concerning the material and construction of reflectors are presented in some detail. At present this facility provides oil-diffusion, cryogenic pumping, and controlled wall temperatures. Solar hardware fabrication is in the process of completion.
