NASA Marshall 360° Tour: Flight Hardware Development Facility

From the creator

From clean welds on NASA's Space Launch System to clean air and water on the International Space Station, get a 360° look around two of the high bay facilities that make human space exploration possible at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. 0:07 — Here at the Advanced Weld Facility, you can catch a glimpse of two segments of the launch vehicle stage adapter--one of three pieces at the top of the rocket that support the Orion spacecraft--we're building for the Artemis II mission. 0:23 —Our welding and manufacturing team has long pioneered welding techniques and holds many patents. Check out the back wall for a closer look at some of their work. 0:29 — Across the hall, researchers are responsible for the space station's air and water recycling system known as the Environmental Control and Life Support System. The oxygen generation rack and two water filtration racks that you see were developed here. Some of the materials used in wastewater filtration and liquid samples are also on display. 0:47 — The ECLSS development lab houses modules and equipment that simulate the space station environment, including the machinery that turns astronauts' urine into clean drinking water. 1:00 — The two modules connected by a node is actual flight hardware that was never launched. It's now used for testing and refining interior life support system hardware. Learn more about ECLSS at https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/earthorbit/hardware.html Learn more about NAS
