SSC
maintains a number of facilities and provides specialized services
required for the direct support and operation of test facilities.
Included are a cryogenics propellant receiving area, a High Pressure
Gas Facility (HPGF) and a High Pressure Industrial Water (HPIW)
facility. |
|
Cryogenics
Operations provide LOX and LH2 for the engine testing programs at
SSC that require liquid propellants. This support includes operating
and maintaining an LH2 Storage and Transfer Facility, a LOX Transfer
Facility, three LH2 , and six LOX barges.

The
HPIW facility furnishes water to the "A" and "B"
Test Complexes for test stand deflector coolant, fire protection
(deluge), and diffuser operation (A-2 and B-1). It also furnishes
water for fire protection of the propellant barges (LH2) at the
test stands.
|
|
The
HPGF receives, stores, and distributes the HP gases required to
support engine testing programs and other SSC-assigned missions.
The HPGF supplies air, GHe, GN2, and GH2.
