Test Stand 20-Foot Chamber
The East Test Area at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center has five major test stands, each of which has two or more test positions, not counting engine-test facilities in the West Test Area. These research and development facilities are capable of testing high pressure pumps, both fuel and oxidizer, injectors, chambers, and sea-level engine assemblies, as well as simulating deep space environments in the 12- 15- and 20-Foot vacuum chambers.
MSFC has supported multiple space access and exploration programs, including NASA’s space exploration initiatives, space shuttle external tank research, reusable solid rocket motor development, and a variety of research programs for NASA and other customers.
