Ever tried standing on a soda can? During these buckling tests, we compress each part of the rocket tank until it buckles to ensure that our first and upper stage tanks will not collapse under high stresses on the pad and in flight.

All of the great fabrication work from Aaron Groesbeck, Felix Lemuth and Susan Ruvalcaba destroyed in milliseconds. Excellent work by Sam Boling, Hill Hudson and Mitchell Calder generating the test data to anchor our analysis work by Llorenç Forasté Gómez and his team. All part of building a reliable launch system with rigor.
