AIAA Student Section,
Prescott Arizona
Spring Break Trip 1999
This
is the first year we were given a tour of the Air
Force Research Laboratory. All of the United States' rocket engines
and motors have been tested on this site at least once. We were given
a bus tour of some of the test stands on which liquid-fueled rocket engines
and solid rocket motors are tested, sometimes with catastrophic results.
We also had a little time to look around in a museum that is being created
on the site. Photography was limited on this site due to security
issues. The photo below is of a cut-away liquid fueled rocket engine.
