Redstone Technical Test Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Redstone Technical Test Center (RTTC) is one of the eight test centers that comprise the Developmental Test Command of the United States Army.[1] RTTC conducts flight-testing of small rockets and guided missiles, and performs life cycle testing for weapon components. It occupies over 265 buildings and 14,000 acres (57 km²) of Redstone Arsenal, near Huntsville, Alabama.
[edit] Use by NRPTA
The RTTC has developed a capability for static firing hypergolic liquid rocket engines. RTTC's facilities and procedures may be used for future testing of Army, DoD, NASA, and private industry's liquid rocket engines as part of the National Rocket Propulsion Test Alliance (NRPTA).[2]
