Design requirements show that for most altitude tests of rocket engines pressure altitude of 200,000 ft or less will meet major test objectives; however, jet impingment and jet spreading experiments require altitudes in excess of this value; development tests conducted at Arnold Center in support of Titan ICBM and Minuteman; requirements for exhaust gas handling system, including pumping and cooling requirements, are examined as function of engine size; characteristics of required test cells; installation and instrumentation support equipment.
