NASA Tests new technology on F-1 Engine and records results using Pacific Instruments Data Acquisition Systems & Software

The gas generator to an F-1 engine was test-fired at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Although the engine was originally built to power the Saturn V rockets during America's missions to the moon, the test article had new parts created using additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, to test the viability of the technology for building new engine designs.  

The successful recording of the tests was done by the Pacific Instruments 6000 Series and its PI660 Software.  Engineers will be able to refer to this data and enable them to determine the suitability of the new test article products used.
