The Acoustical Testing Laboratory can accommodate even large test articles such as NASA’s Fluids and Combustion Facility destined for the International Space Station.
Noise reduction enhances astronaut communication
NASA's Fluids and Combustion Facility, an experimental research laboratory for the International Space Station, is a low-noise product of NASA's Acoustical Testing Laboratory at Glenn Research Center. The Fluids and Combustion Facility's reduced noise emissions contribute to a safe, productive, and comfortable environment for the astronauts who live and work on the International Space Station for months at a time. Frequent acoustic emissions testing throughout the design process played a key role in this successful low-noise design process, which also included noise emission budgeting and test-verified analytical modeling, supported by the Acoustical Testing Laboratory's training and expert acoustical consulting services.
