A few sunset shots of the Saturn V Dynamic Test Stand from the new overlook on Cecil Ashburn Drive on November 14, 2020.

The Saturn V dynamic test stand at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama was built in 1964 to conduct mechanical and vibration tests on a fully assembled Saturn V rocket. The facility stands 363 feet tall, and is visible from many spots around Huntsville. Two space shuttle test vehicles (Pathfinder & Enterprise) were also tested in the facility.

The test site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.
