Abstract
The Static Test Branch of the Redstone Technical Test Center (RTTC) has developed a unique test capability, in the Army, for static firing hypergolic liquid rocket engines. To accomplish this test requirement, the Army built a dual position test stand for vertical testing of liquid and solid rocket engines. This test stand is supplied with test support facilities both mechanical and electrical in nature. RTTC's facilities and procedures may be used for future testing of Army, DoD, NASA, and private industry's liquid rocket engines.
