•    Description:  NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has been instrumental in the success of U.S. manned space flight programs, from the Saturn launch vehicles for the Apollo moon program to the Space Shuttle propulsion systems and the current Space Launch System (SLS). The MSFC's Advanced Welding and Manufacturing Facility is where some of the most sophisticated friction stir welding (FSW) tools in the world are used to fabricate the most powerful and complex rocket systems ever built. This article provides a look at the development of leading edge aluminum welding used in advanced space launch structures.
