Summary

Creek Road Cryogenic Complex (CRCC) is the principle cryogenic fluids technology test facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center. CRCC consists of the Small Multipurpose Research Facility (SMiRF), Cryogenic Component Lab-7 (CCL-7), a calorimeter, a superconducting motor testbed, and a shop area building. It is capable of simulating many extreme environments including transients during launch and ascent from Earth, Low Earth Orbit, and Lunar, Martian, and Titan atmosphere and surface conditions. The facility can handle liquid helium, liquid hydrogen, liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, liquid oxygen, liquid methane, and liquefied natural gas. It also provides gaseous nitrogen and helium. This paper presents a summary of CRCC’s test capabilities, available test tanks, as well as a brief summary and history of recent testing from 2005–2019.
