Cryogenic and high‐temperature and high‐pressure hydrogen test capabilities are required for component development and qualification for the U.S. Air Force Space Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (SNTP) program. To effectively support the non‐nuclear test needs of the SNTP program, as well as other specialized programs that utilize hydrogen as a working fluid, Allied‐Signal Aerospace Company, Garrett Fluid Systems Division (GFSD) is currently developing a hydrogen test facility at our remote San Tan test site. The facility is specifically designed to support turbopump, propellant management valves, instrumentation and general materials evaluation testing with hydrogen at pressures and temperatures representative of actual SNTP engine operating conditions. This paper presents a general description of the SNTP hot‐hydrogen test facility including test capabilities, technical approach, and technical status.
