The engineering and design of complex Rocket Engine Test Facilities is a unique capability of EDF Inc. Rocket engine testing involves hazardous cryogenic propellants such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, usually at very high pressures, which requires specialized knowledge by the engineering firm. Also, most upper stage rocket engines must be tested at altitude conditions, which requires a complex altitude enclosure and a steam evacuation system. The cooling of the exhaust diffuser is a major challenge due to the high rocket engine exhaust temperatures.

• Altitude enclosures and diffusers
• Steam Systems for evacuation, including boilers, ejectors, piping and controls
• Cryogenic high pressure piping
• Thrust Measuring Systems
• Electrical and high response controls
• Engine Control System, consisting of abort systems, sequencer, operator console, etc.
• High speed Data Acquisition Systems
• Hydraulic Systems
• High pressure, high response valves
• Special Test Equipment
