Near Space in a Can

Near Space in a Can is a totable thermal vacuum chamber with a stainless steel chamber 7.5 inches in diameter and 6.5 inches deep. Packed with dry ice, the chamber drops to a temperature to -80 degrees F. Near Space in a Can permits instruments to be exposed to the near space environment before they fly. The cost of testing is significantly less than a mission, and therefore pays for itself in identifying potential failures.

The cost for Near Space in a Can kit is predicted to be less than $200
