Notes
  • Significance: Operated by the California Institute of Technology, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Edward Facility was the United States' first university-sponsored research and testing facility for the development of liquid-fueled rocket engines and components. It became a primary national test facility. Experimental liquid propellant combinations were evaluated here, and later solid fuel rocket motors were built and tested here (including motors for the Space Shuttle). It was the site for testing interplanetary space probe engines for noted programs such as Pioneer, Ranger, Surveyor, Mariner, Voyager, and Viking. / Operated by the California Institute of Technology, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Edwards Facility was the United States' first university-sponsored research and testing facility for the development of liquid-fueled rocket engines and components.
