Space Simulation

Space simulations allow scientists, engineers, and researchers to test and prepare equipment, materials, and even human responses to space-like conditions without leaving Earth. Space simulation encompasses a range of settings, including vacuum chambers, thermal vacuum chambers, and other specialized facilities designed to replicate the harsh environment experienced in space.

Testing materials and equipment under vacuum is fundamental in space simulation, as pressure rapidly decreases when leaving Earth's atmosphere. At 50 km above Earth, the pressure drops to a level around 1E-3 mbar. The Kármán line, which is the conventional definition of the edge of space, is defined as 100 km above Earth, where the vacuum pressure reaches approximately 1E-6 mbar.

Vacuum measurement and control are important during the space simulation process.
