NRL Space Physics Simulation Chamber

Space Physics Simulation Chamber

Welcome to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Space Physics Simulation Chamber (SPSC) Web Site. NRL SPSC Facility research is directed toward improving our understanding of basic plasma processes at work in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere. Steady-state geospace-like plasmas with conditions variable over wide ranges are created within this unique large-scale experimental device, allowing for the simulation of many relevant near-Earth space phenomena. NRL is the Navy's corporate laboratory and conducts a broad-based multidisciplinary program of scientific research and advanced technological development directed toward maritime applications of new and improved materials, techniques, equipment, system, and ocean, atmospheric, and space sciences and related technologies.
