d. Altitude Simulation Unit - - A plenum chamber,<br />

containing steam jets up stream of its exhaust bell, shall be<br />

attached to each engine for altitude simulation.<br />

e. flame Deflector - - The design is a conventional<br />

configuration elbow shaped, shield cooled with a firex water<br />

injection system.<br />

f. Propellent Storage and Handling Equipment - - A<br />

central LOg storage and transfer facility shall be provided for<br />

each of the two test facilities. The Lunar Landing Stage<br />

facility shall store 350,000 lbs. of LQa- Spherical, vacuum<br />

Insulated devars shall be used. Ihe transfer unit shall be a<br />

motor operated centrifugal pump vith 500 gpm and 100 psi<br />

discharge head capacity. Die lunar launch Stage Vest facility<br />

LCU storage shall contain 18,000 gallons in spherical devars<br />

vith a transfer pump capability of 200 gpm and 100 psi discbarge<br />

head. Distribution lines for both complexes would be prefabricated,<br />

static vacuum, insulated steel pipe.<br />

An LHjj storage and transfer facility will be provided<br />

at each hot firing test stand and the cold flow test pad. One<br />

transfer system Is an LHg gas generator system vith air being<br />

the thermal source. Pressuring level in each tank would be 100_<br />

psi. The LH2 storage capacity requirement for each lunar Launch<br />

Stage facility is. 15,000 lbs. and at each Landing Stage Site is<br />

35#000 lbs. Again the storage facilities would be spherical<br />

devars vith segmented, prefabricated, static vacuum insulated<br />

stainless steel pipe distribution lines.<br />
