White Sands Test Facility

Within the so-called Hydrogen Oxygen Vertical Impact , HOVI, project, the national space institutions of the US (NASA) and Japan (NASDA) have recently conducted a series of explosion experiments on the NASA White Sands Test Facility. In these tests, LH2 and LOX tanks were dropped from a 70 m tall tower and exploded upon touchdown. Explosion pressures have been measured to derive a TNT equivalent.
