The decks inside the building have a hinged portion in their center that hinges upward on hydraulic cylinders allowing the shuttle to pass through. There are 3 supports at grade the shuttle sits on. The floor openings are in the shape of the shuttle depending on what elevation they are locate. The propose of this endeavor to the shake and vibrate the shuttle to test the adhesives that hold the tiles that provide protection for re entry through the atmosphere. This facility is located in Huntsville AL. Jim Browne Yeah, its their test facility in Huntsville, AL. You can see this building on Google Earth....think its on the southeast side of the facility. The derricks are permanent parts of the structure. Think it was originally built for the Saturn V, which is why its so tall compared to the shuttle.
