Room for rent, available from July/August 2024 in Circle Drive (Halethorpe). 

Only the large sized room is available, single occupancy. Potential for two people. 

The house is fully renovated; all the rooms are fully furnished. Washing machines available inside house. 

The available room is $900 per month, and utilities is $75 (includes water, electricity, gas and internet). Has a half bath. 

There's no smoking, or partying allowed, as the neighbors are elderly, and a quiet neighborhood/lifestyle is wanted by all. 

UMBC bus stop (Paradise Route) is at the start of the street (about 5-minute walk), and parking is available but no designated spaces.

This past week, members of the Earth & Space Institute finished commissioning their new thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC), a breathtaking piece of engineering—literally! In the aerospace industry, TVACs are used to simulate the space environment by evacuating the air in the chamber and cooling test articles to their on-orbit temperatures. In space, satellites operate in a vacuum, meaning they must manage heat in the absence of air. Thermal vacuum tests give engineers pre-launch insight into how their satellite’s thermal system will perform in orbit, whether it will survive the thermal environment, and how well thermal models predict the actual performance.

Typically, TVAC testing needs to be outsourced to external labs, but ESI’s new chamber will allow these tests to happen right here at UMBC. For a group that designs and builds its own hardware in house, this is an important capability. Work began on this chamber over a year ago, after ESI was awarded a Maryland congressional grant. Designing, building, and testing this equipment was one of the main efforts the grant enabled—and it was no small effort. Everything from the chamber’s internal volume to its power requirements to the feasibility of moving it from the loading dock to the third floor of the Physics building was a consideration for the engineers.

While it’s been a long journey already, this is only the beginning for ESI’s improved in-house space simulation and ground testing capabilities.
