Technology Test Bed and Hydrogen Cold Flow Facilities at the Marshall Space Flight Center

The Technology Test Bed and Hydrogen Cold Flow facilities at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama provide unique testing capabilities for the aerospace community. Located at the Advanced Engine Test Facility (AETF), these facilities are operated and maintained by MSFC Propulsion Laboratory personnel. They provide a systems and components level testing platform for validating new technology concepts and advanced systems design and for gaining a better understanding of test article internal environments. A discussion follows of the particular capabilities of each facility to provide a range of testing options for specific test articles.
