This week we visit Tennessee! The Volunteer State is home to Arnold Engineering Development Complex, which is key for both air and space test efforts. This includes a thermal vacuum chamber used to ensure satellites can withstand the extreme environment of space. We also learn about the contributions of Lieutenant General Frank Andrews, who was a pivotal leader that helped lay the foundations for American airpower in the prelude to World War II.
