NASA Prepping the Parker Solar Probe for Space

At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the Parker Solar Probe is lowered into the 40-foot-tall thermal vacuum chamber. The thermal vacuum chamber simulates the harsh conditions that the spacecraft will experience on its journey through space, including near-vacuum conditions and severe hot and cold temperatures. via NASA http://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/prepping-the-parker-solar-probe-for-space
