Introduction The Environmental Test Laboratory (ETL) • The ETL is presently 18 employees working in 4 separate functional areas (Dynamics, Data Acquisition, Thermal Vacuum, Solar Simulation & Cryogenics). • The ETL is a major JPL facility comprised of 4 large buildings and a large amount of equipment valued at many millions of dollars (Buildings 144, 150, 248, & 306). • The Environmental Testing is process based and operational safety requirements are institutionally controlled. • The ETL is a key element in the life cycle of all JPL “in-house” flight projects and much of the R&D development. • ETL is currently trying to expand its business base to other centers, businesses and outside companies.
