How Engineers Overcame the Challenge of Installing a Giant NASA Space Telescope Test Chamber
NASA Engineers Installed Giant Space Telescope Test Chamber Despite Being Too Big for the Door
Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) used a crane to install a giant space telescope test chamber that was too big for the door. The chamber, which was built by the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), is customized to calibrate the SPHEREx spectrometer. The spectrometer will be used to study the universe's history, epoch of reionization, and ices.
The chamber was lowered into a basement through a removable section of the road. The installation was a complex operation that required careful planning and execution. The engineers had to ensure that the chamber was properly supported and that it would not damage the building during the installation.
The successful installation of the test chamber is a major milestone for the SPHEREx mission. The spectrometer is now undergoing final testing before it is launched into space in 2024.

Closer, Hotter, Faster: Parker Solar Probe's Record-Breaking Solar Journey
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is on a record-breaking journey to the Sun. The spacecraft has already broken the record for closest approach to the Sun, and it is on track to break the record for fastest speed as well. In September 2023, Parker Solar Probe will come within just 4.5 million miles of the Sun's surface, and it will be traveling at a speed of 394,742 miles per hour. Parker Solar Probe is equipped with four instruments that will help scientists study the Sun's atmosphere, magnetic field, and solar wind. The spacecraft's data will help scientists better understand how the Sun works and how it affects the Earth and the rest of the solar system. Parker Solar Probe is a historic mission that is pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Its record-breaking journey is helping scientists to uncover new secrets about our star and its influence on the solar system.
