Once a pivotal platform for the testing of Saturn V and Space Shuttle engines, Test Stand 4670 at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, has witnessed the power of innovation and the spirit of exploration. Experience the transformation of Test Stand 4670 as this historic site has come back to life, blending the rich heritage of NASA's golden era with the cutting-edge technology of today testing our BE-4 and BE-3U engines. The rumble is back in the Rocket City.

I grew up in Huntsville. Went to the Space Museum every weekend it seems. Crawled into a Mercury capsule on display, tried to steal a moon rock from a lexan box that was a racoon trap. The hole was basically too small for a fist, lol. When the security guard came over to get me, I dropped the moon rock and licked a little dust from my hand. That got me kicked out for a month. They all knew me by name. Astronauts routinely trained there, so I was always meeting and talking to them. It was pure magic for a a kid who read nothing buy Science fiction in those days. Glad to hear about this. Rocket city has needed a boost like this for a while.

@Schonah 3 месяца назад

This engine is already 10x more reliable than the raptor and what elon is doing isn't taking risks. It isn't his money. He's just squandering billions on overpriced fireworks while blue origin is actually testing rockets. I could build a plane in about 30 days and it'd glide for 2 mins before crashing in the ocean, or I could spend millions of hours on building a boeing jet which can fly for thousands of miles at a time and for many years. No one in the right mind would say these two aircraft are the same, but one it comes to spacecraft? well Musk fans have ways of bending the truth.

The still have yet to deliver Dragon XL for Artemis Gateway, and Starship HLS has fallen behind by several years. The first Starship orbital flight was supposed to be in 2019 with Mars cargo Starships landing in 2022 and then crew missions in 2024. Dear Moon was supposed to have flown around the Moon in 2023, but did not, and looks like it may not for several more years. Blue Origin is also late on some projects, but has also delivered to its customers. The first shipset of BE-4s to ULA was nearly two years ago, and those engines performed practically flawlessly on Vulcan two months ago. More engines have been delivered, and New Shepard keep on quietly chugging away with its suborbital flights, having sent 32 people and over a 150 experiments to space and back.

@mikedicenso2778 4 месяца назад

@@SpaceGeek321 I guess you don't follow things much. The majority of testing was done at Corn Ranch before this. But this is not the first vertical test firing of BE-4. The first was the flight readiness test firing on Vulcan last June. The engines were fired for 6 seconds. This would've cleared the rocket to fly, but for ULA botching the Centaur V H2 dome and delaying the mission several months to fix and redo the qualification. Also, most of the early Raptors were horizontally tested as were other engines. Both SpaceX (Merlin) and Blue (BE-3/BE-3U) had tested their smaller engines on vertical test stands many times because it's a lot easier to do so.
