The Fluids and Combustion Facility (FCF)
has been the ATL's primary customer since September, 2000.
FCF is a two-rack testbed that will reside on the International Space Station and host a series of science
experiments that study the behavior of fluids and combustion processes in microgravity conditions.

During the FCF's design/build process, ATL staff provided the FCF acoustics team with support that
included technical training, low-noise design consulting, testing services for sound source components,
and developmental testing to support analytical model development. Finally, during the spring of 2005,
the Fluids Integrated Rack (FIR) and the Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) underwent final acoustic
emissions verification testing at ATL.
