The Space Systems and Control Lab ([[SSCLI|SSCL]]), is a laboratory based at [[Iowa State University]] (ISU) in Ames, IA. SSCL focuses on space systems and has a massive number of independent projects. Within its department, the SSCL also has an AABL Wind and Gust Tunnel, Anechoic Chamber, Icing Tunnel, Neutral Buoyancy Tank, Rotational Diamond Anvil Cell, and a Tornado Simulator. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Department Labs and Facilities – Department of Aerospace Engineering |url=https://www.aere.iastate.edu/research/unique-facilities/ |access-date=2023-01-19 |website=www.aere.iastate.edu}}</ref>
==History==
[[File:ssclspace.jpg|thumb|left|Mission Control area for HABET Flights|162x162px]]
In 2007, the SSCL was changed to the Space Systems and Controls Lab as new leadership took over, and to reflect some of the changes the lab had undergone. The SSCL continues with a focus in space systems and has expanded to several new areas. The SSCL still has a strong emphasis on student involvement with both projects and leadership of the lab. Currently, the lab has 4 core projects, two active research projects, several capstone projects and well over 50 students from [[Electrical engineering|Electrical]], [[Aerospace engineering|Aerospace]], and [[Mechanical Engineering]], as well as students outside the [[College of Engineering]]. The lab is managed by Matthew Nelson, a staff member within the Aerospace Engineering department and the Director of Engineering and Operations for the lab. Funding for the lab is provided by the Aerospace Engineering Department, [[Funding of science|research grants]], and private donations.{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}}
