Vertical Test Stand 3 (VTS-3) (Structure 924)
In May of 1955, VTS-3, the fourth and final test stand at the Bowl was activated. Located east
of VTS-1, the new test stand was similar in its overall design and appearance to VTS-2.
Testing at VTS-3 supported the Navajo and Atlas programs between 1955 and 1957. The test
stand was subsequently used for testing the J-2 rocket for the Saturn program (Table 5.4).
After testing for the Saturn program ended in the mid-1960s, VTS-III was converted for use as
the Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System. This program, which ran from 1975 to
1976 used a large diesel-fired steam system to test a solar energy storage system. VTS-3 was
converted into a steam valve test facility in 1988; this conversion included the removal of the
upper section of the test stand’s superstructure. The facility was used as a steam valve test
facility between 1988 and 1990. The remainder of the facility was demolished after 1996 as a
part of ongoing operations at SSFL. Only remnants of its substructure and gunnite-lined
spillway survive.
