Description
An estimate of the major simulation requirements for high-altitude tests of rocket engines and rocket engine systems is presented. The facilities required to provide the parameters desired are examined in terms of simulation capability, exhaust handling requirements, and some of the requirements for test cell and specialized installation and instrumentation equipment. Presentation includes environment required for hybrid rocket systems as well as conventional engines. Selected high-altitude tests of rocket engines and spacecraft and spacecraft and missile subsystems which have been conducted in recent months at the Arnold Center are described. A forecast of future test requirements is also included .
