PSI 6 Deep Space 2

PSI 6 Deep Space 2

PSI 6 is a vertically orientated facility. Radiation is conducted with vacuum-UV radiation emitted from an inserted deuterium lamp or Hg low pressure lamp. Due to the compact size of the recipient ultra high vacuum values down to 1 x 10^-7 Pa are achievable in short time frames. In case of link up of an ion getter pump a values down to 1 x 10^-10 Pa is reachable. Over extreme long periods of time Deep Space 2 is nearly maintenance-free. Beyond that a high variety of gas compositions for the simulation of planetary environments are attachable.
