ISIM Lowered into Thermal Vacuum Chamber

Check out a rare overhead glimpse inside the thermal vacuum chamber at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. as engineers ready the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) that was just lowered into the chamber for its first thermal vacuum test. The ISIM and the ISIM System Integration Fixture that holds the ISIM Electronics Compartment (IEC) is completely covered in protective blankets to protect it from contamination.
