The space plasma simulation chamber is used to develop and test rocket-based and satellite-based payloads in a space simulation environment. It is also used to demo and teach students to understand characteristics of plasma. It was designed and integrated by Prof. Shigeyuki Minami. To meet these requirements, functions of the space plasma simulation chamber are briefly outlined in the followings:
- Chamber 真空艙體
- Pumps 真空幫浦
- Vacuum gauges 真空計
- Plasma source 電漿源
- Turn table 旋轉台
- Monitoring system 監控系統
