These systems analyze spacecraft behavior, evaluating its thermal balance, and functionalities to ensure mission success and survivability. The objective of this chapter is to give a broad overview on space simulation chambers, describe which are the environmental parameters of space that can be simulated in this type of ground test facilities, types of the space environment simulators, class of phenomena generated inside, and the technological evolution of these systems from its conception. This chapter describes the basic systems and devices that compose the space simulation chambers. %@area ETES %@electronicmailaddress roy.soler@lit.inpe.br %@electronicmailaddress geilson.loureiro@inpe.br %@documentstage not transferred %@group COLIT-COLIT-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@group COLIT-COLIT-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@group COLIT-COLIT-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@dissemination BNDEPOSITOLEGAL %@isbn 978-1-78923-283-7 %@usergroup simone %@resumeid %@resumeid 8JMKD3MGP5W/3C9JH57 %@resumeid 8JMKD3MGP5W/3C9JGQM %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %@holdercode {isadg {BR SPINPE} ibi 8JMKD3MGPCW/3DT298S} %@doi 10.5772/intechopen.69789 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m21c/2019/01.03.11.47.11
