Stennis Space Center
Not unexpectedly, the aerospace industry demands the highest possible standards. The photograph shows the last few centimetres/inches of a journey that started several thousand miles earlier, from the Rolls Royce test establishment outside Nottingham, in the UK.
On route - via Prestwick and Atlanta - this thrust frame, used for measuring aircraft engine performance, had to be dismantled, tested and refurbished, prior to reassembly within the Stennis Space Center. located in the Mississippi delta. Operated by NASA, Stennis is America's largest rocket and aircraft test facility. Under the watching eyes of the client, stg were responsible for every single stage, including the application of the final coat of paint!
Within a few days of the frame being attached to the tower, the first engine was in position and under test, making its contribution towards aircraft safety, world wide. |
