The largest piece of structural test hardware for America’s new deep space rocket, the Space Launch System, was loaded into Test Stand 4693, which was constructed by Brasfield & Gorrie at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The liquid hydrogen tank is part of the rocket’s core stage, which is more than 200 feet tall and has a diameter of 27.6 feet. The tank stores cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that will feed the vehicle’s RS-25 engines. Dozens of hydraulic cylinders in the 215-foot-tall test stand will push and pull the tank, subjecting it to the same stresses and loads it will endure during liftoff and flight.
