Five-Percent-Scale Model Helping Determine Likely Sound Levels At Liftoff
Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have wrapped up acoustic testing on a 5-percent scale model of NASA's Space Launch System. The Aug.28 test, the 34th in the series, will help NASA engineers understand how loud the SLS vehicle will be during liftoff. Data from the test series will be used to design the water sound suppression system that reduces liftoff vibrations on the vehicle.
