NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine visits Marshall Space Flight

On August 15, 2018 NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine visited Marshall Space Flight Center. Upon his arrival he was greeted by MSFC Acting Director Jody Singer along with the senior management team. Lead test engineer for the Space Launch System core stage intertank, Matt Cash briefs NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine on testing progress of the SLS test article in the Structural Strength Lab at Marshall. The test article is structurally identical to the flight version of the intertank that will connect the core stage's two colossal fuel tanks, serve as the upper-connection point for the two solid rocket boosters and house critical avionics and electronics.
