Built in 1964 to conduct mechanical and vibrational tests on the fully assembled Saturn V rocket, this facility represents the last step in the testing process before the vehicle was accepted for full flight status.

Major problems capable of causing failure of the vehicle were discovered and corrected before the rocket ever reached the launch complex at the Kennedy Space Center.

The success of the Saturn V program and the fact that no Saturn V ever failed in flight are indicative of the contribution of this facility.
