Sponsored by NASA MSFC, this plaque is located at the Saturn V Dynamic Test Stand on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The site is not accessible to the general public. The Saturn V Dynamic Test Stand was used in 1966-67 for ground vibration testing o f the Saturn V launch vehicle and the Apollo spacecraft. Completion of this program was the final step prior to the launch of Apollo 11 - the first manned lunar landing mission. In 1972-73 the stand was used for tests involving the Skylab space station, and in 1978-79 for ground vibration testing o f the complete Space Shuttle vehicle.
