November 16: RSRM night-firing static test
The FSM-13 RSRM static test is scheduled for Thursday, November 16, at
6:00 p.m. MST. The reason for conducting the test during evening hours is to meet NASA imagery requirements in support of night-time Space Shuttle launches. This will be at the ATK facility near Promontory, Utah. There is a large public viewing area about 8,000 feet from the test stand. It's been a long time since there was a similar night firing... reportedly sometime in the SRM days (early 1980's). I've seen a number of daylight firings, and they're damned impressive... night firing should be quite a sight. |
