| 説明 | We're throwing back to the early 60s when had TWO giant vacuum chambers. We tested the James Webb Space Telescope's flight instruments in the SES (Space Environment Simulator), which is the one at right.More information:When this picture was taken in the 1960s, there were actually two large test chambers. The Dynamic Test Chamber (left) could create a "near-vacuum" with mechanical pumps. The more robust SES (right) augmented its mechanical pumps with diffusion and cryogenic setup, as well as a "solar simulator" to mimic spacecrafts' exposure to the sun.The building they are in took about a year to construct (fall 1962-'63), and the testing chambers shown here were both operational by early 1964.The SES, with some modifications, is of course still with us today. The Dynamic Test Chamber existed as recently as 1973. That space is now taken up by the White House clean room. The White House clean room construction started in 2006. Prior to the White House clean room being in that location, a full size mock up of the Space Shuttle Cargo Bay complete with Canada Arm was used by engineers and astronauts as they prepared and trained for Hubble servicing missions.Credit: NASA (if you have more info on photo credits, also let us know!)NASA Image Use PolicyFollow us on TwitterLike us on FacebookSubscribe to our YouTube channelFollow us on Google PlusFollow us on Instagram |
