Winter Lab


Overview

The Winter Payload will be equipped with a refrigerated ice floor. Its interior dimensions are 5.55 m (L) x 5.55 m (W) x 2.73 m (H) and its exterior dimensions are 6.0 m x 5.6 m x 3.88 m. A special cooling system will provide cold, dry air to simulate winter conditions and a large industrial fan will be able to produce winds up to 15 km/h at -10°C. A portable snowmaker can be wheeled into the payload when the motion platform is stationary, or when it is parked in the payload hall. This snowmaker can be used to generate a covering of snow on any surface or to build snow drifts. Curbs and steps can also be incorporated as a way of simulating real world, winter mobility challenges.
