Saturn V Dynamic Test Stand, also known as Dynamic Structural Test Facility, is a structure at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Built in 1964 to conduct mechanical and vibrational tests on the fully assembled Saturn V rocket, major problems capable of causing failure of the vehicle were discovered and corrected here.[1]

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985.[1][3]
