Saturn V dynamic test stand, also known as dynamic structural test facility, at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama is the test stand used for testing of the Saturn V rocket and the Space Shuttle prior to the vehicles' first flights. Designated building 4550, it stands 363 feet (111 m) tall and is 98 feet (30 m) square. Its central bay has maximum dimensions of 74 by 74 feet (23 m × 23 m), and it is topped by a derrick capable of moving 200-ton objects in a 70-foot (21 m) radius. An elevator provides access to 15 levels in the structure, and a cable tunnel connects the building to control facilities in the space center's East Test Area.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Saturn V Dynamic Test Stand ist ein 111 m hohes Gebäude auf dem Gelände des Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Das Gebäude wurde im Jahr 1964 errichtet, um strukturelle und mechanische Tests an den Saturn V-Raketen durchführen zu können. Hierzu verfügt das Gebäude über einen Kran, um die einzelnen Stufen einer Saturn-V-Rakete ins Innere hieven zu können, sowie eine bewegliche Plattform im Innern, die Vibrationen wie bei einem echten Flug simulieren kann. Neben der Saturn V wurde hier auch das Space Shuttle auf seine strukturellen Eigenschaften getestet und sowohl die Pathfinder als auch die Enterprise (Raumfähre) befanden sich zeitweise hier. Das Gebäude ist seit 1985 als National Historic Landmark im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. (de)

An elevator provides access to 15 levels in the structure, and a cable tunnel connects the building to control facilities in the space center's East Test Area. NASA built the test stand in 1964 to conduct mechanical and vibrational tests on the fully assembled Saturn V rocket. Major problems capable of causing failure of the vehicle were discovered and corrected here. The new building was so tall that in 1966 when the Saturn V first stage was entering, an observer noted, "Fog and clouds hovered around the top of the 360 foot (110 m) tall test stand most of the day while the 300,000 pounds (140,000 kg) stage was being lifted from its transporter into place inside the stand, said to be the tallest building in Alabama." The stand was used to test how spacecraft behaved when put under vibrating and bending stresses, and to test the connections between major stages of the craft. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985 for its role in the Saturn V program. In addition to the Saturn V dynamic test vehicle, designated SA-500D, two Space Shuttle test vehicles, Pathfinder and Enterprise, were also tested in this facility. * The Space Shuttle Orbiter simulator is hoisted into the Saturn V dynamic test stand in 1977 * The Shuttle Enterprise is loaded into the Saturn V dynamic test stand for a shake test, c. 1978 (en)
