Experience gained during simulated altitude testing of Apollo, Transtage, Lunar Module, and other space propulsion systems indicates that present facilities should be considered as only beginning of true space-propulsion-system, ground-test capability; typical testing problems and facility requirements for their solutions are presented; future space engine developments will require larger test facilities capable of simulating at least 10-5 torr with propulsion system operating; test units must be capable of providing proper thermal environment and must be man-rated so that test article can be operated from inside test cell.
