Test hardware ateach stand has been modified tosupport the SSP.• All are designated NHLs• All accommodate full-scale, liquidpropellant rocket engine and systemstesting• A-1, A-2, and B-2 are single positiontest stands; B-1 is a dual-positionstand• Test stands A-2 and B-1 can simulatealtitude conditions encountered bythe SSME during ascent• B-2, the largest test stand of its typein the country, can accommodate thestatic firing of all three SSMEs at onetime. It was used during the testfiring of the MPTA on April 21,1978.• The four test stands are eligible underNRHP Criterion A. They are the onlystructures in the world that cansupport the type and level of testingrequired by the SSME. Every SSMEthat has flown in space was certifiedat the SSC Rocket Propulsion TestComplex.• All are also eligible under NRHPCriterion C for their uniquecapabilities, configuration andmethod of constructionJuly 2008Archaeological Consultants, Inc.
