Small Icy Bodies Chambers

The Small Icy Bodies Chamber is designed to simulate conditions on icy bodies, like Europa, Ganymede and Enceladus.

Description

The Small Icy Bodies Chamber, measuring 14 cm diameter and 15 cm tall, has an integrated cryogenic cooling system capable of simulating conditions on icy bodies such as Europa, Ganymede and Enceladus. The ~5 L chamber can accommodate five viewports (two angled downward, two horizontal and one vertical) which allow for sample observations and spectral data collection. The two horizontally opposed viewports allow for low temperature sample transmission measurement, while the vertical viewport may be used for UV solar simulator illumination.

Specification

Small Icy Bodies Chambers have:

• Automated temperature control
• Automated pressure control
• UV Solar simulator
