This is a truly rad space place: the acoustic test chamber at NASA Plum Brook Station, where the #Orion test article will be subject to 163 decibels of sound. Plum Brook, a branch of NASA’s Glenn Research Center, was originally created to allow the agency to conduct nuclear research, first related to airplanes and then to nuclear #rockets. Today, it’s a unique facility that allows testing that replicates extreme conditions encountered in spaceflight – from vacuum and thermal environments found in orbit to launch-like acoustic levels that would turn a human body into a puddle... This story is SO good! Read the rest on blogs.nasa.gov/Rocketology
