"Selling this as a Liberty test, as opposed to SLS?The test is a 5 segment motor test whether used in an SLS config or a Liberty config.

"Selling this as a Liberty test, as opposed to SLS?This sounds like an Ares I test, since 55 Klbs is roughly 25 tonnes. Liberty, as I remember it, was advertised "to deliver 44,500 pounds (20.2 tonnes) to the International Space Station orbit".Of course, it can't be an Ares I test, since Ares I has been canceled.* - Ed Kyle* Except for the following parts: Five segment booster, J-2X, Upper Stage Tank Pathfinder (renamed to fit within the SLS purview), avionics, launch platform, and so forth.
National Anthem sung by one of the ATK PAOers.
DM3 now in 5 min scheduled hold. Insulation is 1500 lbs lighter. Fuel heated to 90 deg to simulate summer launch
Are national anthems usually sung before ATK engine tests?
One of the "last" things still made in the USA...
