The inner dimension of space plasma simulation chamber can contain and install most of rocket-based and satellite-based payloads. A stand is provided to strongly support the chamber and to ease for operation. The chamber has two main doors. One door is used to install plasma source. The other door with a window is used to open the chamber and assist to install test payloads. The top, bottom, right and left sides of the chamber body has several openings to install vacuum pump system, instruments, electrical circuits, transparency windows, etc. There are also several gauge ports on the chamber body to install gauge meters. To prevent from magnetic interference, the chamber is made by non-magnetic stainless steel (SUS-304).
