What’s Behind This Door? – Chamber A | NASA's Johnson Space Center

"What’s Behind This Door?" takes you behind the doors of facilities located at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, being used to return humanity to the Moon, through the Artemis campaign. This episode one takes place in Building 32 at NASA Johnson in the Chamber A facility. It features NASA subject matter expert, Steven Del Papa. He details the science behind the thermal testing conducted in the chamber.

Chamber A was upgraded to support the James Webb Space Telescope test program. Additions involved an ultra-clean hydrocarbon-free high vacuum pumping systems and the ability to simulate the extremely low temperatures of deep space (35K) within a 45 foot diameter by 80 foot tall shroud volume. The chamber systems are now able to maintain class 10,000 clean room conditions for ambient operations.
