Under government contract, the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation (GAC) analyzed, designed, fabricated and tested a scaled down version of a TA, deriving sufficient information to accurately design and predict the performance characteristics of a full scale accelerator which would be capable of physically subjecting adaption kit components to simulated launch and flight acceleration-time environments.
