Constructed in 1965, Test Stand 4670 served as the backbone for Saturn V propulsion testing for the Apollo program, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2019. Later, it was modified to support testing of the space shuttle external tank and main engine systems. The facility has been inactive since 1998, but will soon be used by private space company Blue Origin to test their BE-3U and BE-4 rocket engines.
