A technique for calibrating a vacuum chamber in terms of pressure to account for elevated back pressure while testing Hall thrusters was presented. As a first step in this process, a neutral gas background pressure map of the Large Vacuum Test Facility (LVTF) was created at a series of cold anode flow rates. The experimental results were used to validate a numerical model of LVTF with a cold-flow thruster. The computational model employs the direct simulation Monte Carlo method that includes the chamber walls and cryopumps.
