Iowa scientists build two clean rooms for space research
Iowa City researchers at the University of Iowa Physics Research Center install two specially equipped clean rooms to reduce dust and airborne contaminants. The totally clean room for large equipment uses outdoor air filtered through chassis filters, changing air about every two minutes. A second room houses three work benches for assembling smaller instruments, aiding projects like a field emission microscope a rocket for upper atmosphere studies and NASA Injun V satellite parts.
