AEDC support to Apollo program
The rocket motor for the Apollo service module is installed at the AEDC Rocket Test Facility J-3 test cell in 1966. This motor was test fired repeatedly in near-space conditions to help NASA qualify the system as man-rated for the flight to the moon. Around three years after this photo was taken, the Apollo 11 spaceflight would successfully get the first men to the surface of the moon. (U.S. Air Force photo)
