The static test loads facility provides the capability to perform static loads tests on space vehicles and their subsystems to demonstrate that structural design requirements have been achieved. The static test loads facility is housed in the Payload Processing Facility. It can test both small (2.25 kg) and large (17,236 kg) articles.
