The range of temperature measurements have been significantly extended for an existing space environment simulation test chamber used in the study of electron emission, sample charging and discharge, electrostatic discharge and arcing, electron transport, and luminescence of spacecraft materials. This was accomplished by incorporating a new two- stage, closed-cycle helium cryostat which has an extended sample temperature range from450 K, with long-term controlled stability of
