NASA Chamber of Horrors

This NASA video explores the engineering and performance tests NASA spacecraft undergo prior to launch. Topics include g-forces, vibration, acoustic power, physical load, tension, EM waves, and thermal fluctuations – all presented in a whimsical tone that portrays the battery of tests as a “chamber of horrors.”
