A
stunning video from NASA shows a cooling system to reduce extreme heat and
energy generated by a rocket launch.
“On Oct. 15, 2018, the Ignition Overpressure Protection and Sound Suppression water deluge system at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39B was tested, sending water about 100 feet (~30 meters) in the air. The test is part of preparation for launching our Space Launch System rocket on Exploration Mission-1 and subsequent missions.
Modifications
were made to the pad after a previous wet flow test, increasing the performance
of the system. During launch, this water deluge system will release
approximately 450,000 gallons of water across the mobile launcher and Flame
Deflector.” NASA said.
