Satellite Room

One of my shoots last week wasn't your typical architecture job. I photographed the interiors of a Ball Aerospace building for H+L Architecture & GH Phipps Construction this past week. The room will be used to build a 3-4 BILLION dollar satellite!

The space is over 40 feet tall and is a clean room to limit the amount of dust and particulates that can interfere with the satellite's components. You first put on a "rabbit suit" and enter through an air shower that blows all the dust off. There are large semi-clean anterooms to clean equipment off before it is brought into the room.

Here are a couple images of the space.


The room with two "models" to give a sense of scale.
