PLANT 5, GRUMMAN'S BETHPAGE FACILITY,
C. 1968. This extension was built in 1964 just for the construction and
testing of the LM. It contained the clean room (the dark building in the
center), where three LMs could be built at once. The building in front
of it contained the ACE (Automatic Checkout Equipment) Room, where the
LM's testing was run. In the lower left is the Cold Flow Test Site, where
the valves and tubing in the LM's propulsion and cooling systems were tested
with nitrogen and glycol under pressure. |
