Components Test Laboratory CTL V Rotary Dynamics Testing 1964
CTL-V
This one-of-a-kind facility was built in 1956 for the Rover Program to conduct testing for the hydrogen pump system of the Nucleonics nuclear reactor. In the 1960s, 25,000 HP Electric Motor Drives and Dynamometers were acquired form Wright Patterson and installed to support pump testing for the J-2 and F-I engine programs. Other programs supported include SSME, and DEMAG (German LOX pump).
