Paper examines size of environmental chambers required for space vehicles to be developed in next two decades; solution for problem is proposed by predicting dimensions of future space vehicles based upon analysis of booster capabilities, payload weight, and payload density; analysis shows that facilities of general dimensional order of 200 ft, are required, are feasible, and are justifiable to meet future space programs; Man's physiological tolerance, as limited by vestibular sensations and coriolis forces, indicates minimum space station radius in order of 75 ft.
