This image shows preparation for March 2011 testing of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, in a space-simulation chamber; the rover will go through operational sequences in environmental conditions similar to what it will experience on Mars.

This image, taken on Oct. 9, 2019, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, captures the move of the Mars 2020 rover into a large vacuum chamber for testing in Mars-like environmental conditions. Movie available at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23470

iss067e213248 (Aug. 1, 2022) --- Expedition 67 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Bob Hines replaces the environmental control system inside the Plant Habitat's growth chamber located inside the International Space Station's Harmony module. The orbiting lab's Plant Habitat enables research into space agricultural techniques as NASA and its international partners learn how to support crews on future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

NASA scientist Trevor Graff peers at a calibration target, which will help fine-tune settings on the Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC) instrument carried aboard NASA's Perseverance Mars rover. The calibration target is housed inside a special environmental chamber that was used to ship it from NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, to the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, where the target was added to the rover. There are 10 kinds of materials on SHERLOC's calibration target, including a fragment of a Martian meteorite and five of the first spacesuit materials sent to Mars. They'll be observed to see how they hold up in the intense radiation on the Martian surface. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23979

jsc2025e036187 (4/4/2025) --- The Exploration Aerosol Monitors (ExAM) hardware in BioServe Space Technologies’ environmental chamber: the Moderated Aerosol Growth with Internal water Cycling (MAGIC) particle counter (x3; top), the OPto-electrical Realtime Aerosol classifier (OPERA, x3; middle, back), the Mobile Aerosol Reference Samplers (MARS, x5; middle, front); power supplies (bottom). Aerosol Monitors demonstrates technologies to continuously monitor the concentration of airborne pollutant particles, which must be kept within safe ranges, inside the International Space Station.
