This Week on the Production Floor: NASA, Flight Dynamics Research Facility

To the moon Alice!  We literally aimed for the stars this week!  The pictured conduit run is installed on solid strut and will be mounted vertically in a large shaft for NASA.  The design blossomed out of the need for tight crane scheduling, minimal install time and above all, trying to eliminate any safety risks. This facility supports research for entry, descent, and landing on the moon, Mars and Saturn’s moon Titan.  The new wind tunnel is over 120’ tall and is the first one built in over 40 years.
