ATL Capabilities

The ATL is unique among NASA facilities. It is the only anechoic test facility agency-wide that is dedicated to supporting the development and qualification of space flight hardware. The anechoic test environment, data acquisition systems, and signal processing capabilities of the ATL are state-of-the-art among both government and private sector laboratories. Our engineering and consulting staff has the background and experience to assist you with your acoustic design and testing needs.
