The Propulsion and Structural Test Facility, which was erected in 1957 — the same year the first artificial satellite entered Earth orbit — and the Dynamic Test Facility, which has stood since 1964, are slated for demolition by a coordinated series of implosions as soon as sunrise on Saturday (Jan. 10). Located in Marshall's East Test Area on the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, the two structures are no longer in use and, according to NASA, have a backlog of $25 million in needed repairs.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="https://www.collectspace.com/news/news-010826a-nasa-historic-test-facilities-marshall-demolition.html" target="AirLock"><img src="https://www.collectspace.com/images/news-010826a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center>
