Summary of test facilities and techniques developed at Arnold Engineering Development Center, to check operation of complete rocket engine package, including gas generator, gas turbine, propellant pumps, control system, etc; tests revealed formerly unknown altitude problems and demonstrated that problems associated with operation of rocket vehicles at high altitudes can be solved by full-duration firings of rockets in ground test facilities at simulated altitude.
