- Definition
- A structure, usually open-air, for testing the performance of a horizontally mounted rocket engine.
- Description
- The structure is sufficient to mount the engine (for example: a solid-fuel booster) and safely direct the exhaust. There may be a concrete pan to provide a degree of protection to the local surface. In the case of a liquid-fueled engine there may be associated small tanks containing fuel and oxidizer. In some cases the entire structure may consist of a shed with a side that is either permanently or temporarily opened during testing.
