Space Shuttle Program Historic Properties 5-24NASA-wide Roll-up ReportHOSC in Building 4663 at MSFCHOSC during STS-78 mission, 1996.(Source: NASA Marshall Space Flight Center,MSFC-9610972)• Building 4663 was constructed in 1959;the HOSC was added in 1968• The Shuttle Engineering Support Center(SESC) in the HOSC is used every sixweeks for simulations of the Shuttlecountdown. Certification runs forcontingencies are performed by all theengineers responsible for the majorelements of the STS, including the SRBs,SSMEs, and ET.• Eligible under NRHP Criterion A. Since1980, this computer command center hasplayed a key role in support of majorlaunch preparation tests run at KSC, andfor assisting in problem-solvingthroughout the SSP.Communications and Tracking DevelopmentLaboratory (Building 44) at JSCTest control center in Building 44, looking south.(Source: Archaeological Consultants, Inc., 2006)• Built between 1965 and 1966 in supportof the Apollo Program• Contains the Electronics Systems TestLaboratory (ESTL), a one-of-a-kindNASA facility used for systemverification testing of Shuttlecommunication systems. Also used forthe investigation and resolution ofcommunication anomalies, as well as tocreate communication systems scenarios.• Eligible under NRHP Criterion A for thevital role in testing the Space Shuttlecommunication systems and interfaces,plus for real-time communicationstrouble-shooting• Eligible under Criterion C for housingequipment uniquely designed andengineered to perform its specializedfunctions in support of the SSPJuly 2008Archaeological Consultants, Inc.
Space Shuttle Program Historic Properties 5-25NASA-wide Roll-up Report5.3.7 Type 7: Engineering and Administrative FacilitiesTwenty-six assets are classified as Type 7 resources. The Engineering and AdministrativeFacilities group includes test stands and associated control centers, wind tunnels, arc jetfacilities, and R&D facilities.• Propulsion Test Stand A-1 at SSC• Propulsion Test Stand A-2 at SSC• Propulsion Test Stand B-1 at SSC• Propulsion Test Stand B-2 at SSC• Coca I Test Stand at SSFL• Coca Control Center at SSFL• Acoustic Model Engine Test Facility (TF 116) at MSFC• Structural Dynamic Test Facility at MSFC• Test and Data Recording Facility (TF 115) at MSFC• Advanced Engine Test Facility at MSFC• Control Facility at MSFC• Materials and Processes Laboratory at MSFC• Structures, Dynamics and Thermal Vacuum Laboratory at MSFC• National Center for Advanced Manufacturing at MSFC• Arc Jet Laboratory at ARC• Atmospheric Reentry Materials and Structures Evaluation Facility (ARMSEF) atJSC• 14-inch Trisonic Wind Tunnel at MSFC• Abe Silverstein (10 by 10) Supersonic Wind Tunnel (SWT) at GRC• 8 by 6 SWT at GRC• Aircraft Landing Dynamics Facility (ALDF) at LaRC• SSME Hardware Simulation Laboratory (HSL) Block II Facility at MSFC• Crew Systems Laboratory at JSC• Avionics Systems Laboratory at JSC• Multi-Purpose High Bay Facility and Neutral Buoyancy Simulator (NBS) atMSFC• Shuttle Orbiter Final Assembly Building at Palmdale• Communications and Tracking Development Laboratory at JSCEleven of the 26 assets are located at MSFC, four each are at JSC and SSC, two each arelocated at GRC and SSFL, and one each is at ARC, LaRC, and Palmdale. All are eligibleunder NRHP Criterion A for their exceptionally significant associations with the SSP;some are also distinguished by their design and construction, and thus, are eligible underCriterion C in the area of Engineering.Four of the 26 historic properties are affiliated with more than one property type. Thosewhose primary function is as Engineering and Administrative Facility are describedbelow. Properties with a secondary Type 7 affiliation include the Shuttle Orbiter FinalAssembly Building (150) at Palmdale, described as a Type 2: Vehicle Processing FacilityJuly 2008Archaeological Consultants, Inc.
