Engineers are constructing qualification structural test articles for the core stage at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. Technicians at Michoud perform priming operations on the SLS engine section qualification test article. The primer is applied for corrosion protection. The hardware will be shipped later this year to the Marshall Center to undergo structural loads testing on a 50-foot test structure currently under construction.
