AGSE-M123

This station provides a climactically clean room environment housing instrumentation and equipment to support the ABL Test Program. A rolling base supports it fabricated primarily from structural-grade tube steel. The base is horizontally cross-braced to ensure the square alignment of the vertical lift system. Four (4) ton capacity floor jacks are mounted to the rolling base to stabilize the structure. The floor jacks feature hand crank operation of a worm gear and acme screw actuator with swivel-mounted shoes.
The RSDS features a 10,000-clean room with a separately partitioned gowning area. A sliding door separates the two rooms. The environment of both rooms is climactically controlled by a system made up of an air conditioner, humidifier, blower, and HEPA filters. The rooms also feature fluorescent lighting, insulated walls, smoke detectors, fire sprinklers, and power outlets. The cleanroom has a pendant control for vertical and horizontal motion and communication headsets that can be plugged in at various locations.
