SLS Avionics Subsystem and Hardware Cleared for Flight Control Test 1

The avionics subsystem and hardware are cleared for Flight Control Test 1, testing the avionics and controls for NASA's Space Launch System booster. The Space Launch System is America's next heavy-lift launch vehicle, now being developed and built by NASA and its aerospace partners. Testing was conducted at ATK's Promontory, Utah, test facility. The work is managed for the agency by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
