Controlled Chambers No. 1 (1-105-1-Q) and No.
2 (1-113-1-Q), each have 103 square feet of deck
area. Entry to both chambers is through a 75 square
foot vestibule located between them, which is
accessed from the biological/chemical analysis
Lab. Both chambers are independently capable of
operating as either a cold room or warm room.
The temperature range for both chambers is from
-10 degrees to +35 degrees Celsius, with a tolerance
of ±1 degree Celsius. Humidity is controlled
over the range of 20 percent to 95 percent relative
humidity, with a tolerance of ±5 percent,
when chamber temperatures are above 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. The HVAC control system for the chambers
provides filtered air and includes alarms for
abnormal conditions. Temperature and humidity
data is fed to the science data network.
