KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the launch tower on Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the Boeing Delta II second stage is lowered toward the first stage. The mating of the two stages will complete the erection of the launch vehicle for NASA's Space Infrared Telescope Facility. SIRTF will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space. Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground. Consisting of an 0.85-meter telescope and three cryogenically cooled science instruments, SIRTF is one of NASA's largest infrared telescopes to be launched. KSC-03pd0750

Summary
Significance: The facility allowed wind tunnel research into fields that could be most effectively investigated with full-scale models and actual aircraft. Until 1945 it was the largest wind tunnel in the world. "Drag cleanup tests" performed here on most World War II military aircraft significantly improved their performance. The facility was used to test a variety of vehicles including military aircraft, dirigibles and submarines. The original tunnel design proved to be versatile and as the study of aerodynamics advanced it was used to study handling problems of hypersonic aircraft and space reentry vehicles. In the 1960s and 1970s the tunnel was modified and equipped for dynamic free-flight model testing. When the facility was closed in September of 1995, it was NASA's oldest operating wind tunnel. Many achievements of the American aerospace industry can be traced to the aeronautical research performed in the full-scale tunnel.
