The Space Environment Simulation Laboratory in Building 32 at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center was used for the testing of Apollo Program equipment in a space environment. It simulated the vacuum and thermal environments that would be encountered by spacecraft in use. The laboratory continues in this use today.
