Transonic Dynamics Tunnel

(1971-L-08904): Wind blowing against rockets and service structures can generate serious vibration problems while a missile is on the launch pad. Here a 0.55 scale model of the Skylab II Apollo-Saturn I-B stack is set up on the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel's (TDT’s) turntable for on-pad testing. The turntable allows testing at all wind directions.
