This document discusses building a near space simulation to test equipment. It mentions using dry ice, styrofoam, vacuum pumps and other materials like flour, canisters, and PICAXE radios to create a thermal test chamber and vacuum environment to test a PICAXE-based GPS. A ladder and broom handle could lift items into the chamber for testing, while a UV sanitizer and cleaning products could sanitize materials after testing.
