The Bravo test area was initially constructed for testing of Atlas engines. It was modified shortly after construction to perform testing of large components. Its most significant test event was the testing of F-1 engine turbopumps and several F-1 thrust chamber ignition tests. It was later modified for turbopump and vernier engine testing for the RS-27 and Atlas programs.
