With the development of ARIANE 5 the test bench P5 for the VULCAIN engine was erected in 1990. New developments like advanced nozzles, the reignition capability of rocket engines or unexpected events during flight drive again the question how to qualify rocket engines and propellant systems. It's getting more and more necessary to test rocket engines closer to original flight conditions. This is mainly the simulation of pressure and temperature conditions. For the main stage engines it's the transition from sea level up to altitude conditions and for upper stage engines and satellite propulsion it's the high altitude with low vacuum pressures. The stage feeding conditions or special simulations like booster separation influences the behaviour of the engine and has to be simulated too. What are the needed simulation conditions to qualify for the flight? The rocket engines of the ARIANE launcher are taken to demonstrate the principle conditions. In 1992 the P4.2 was adapted to the AESTUS altitude simulation. Actual activities are the preparation of the altitude simulation for VINCI on P4.1 and the load simulation device for VULCAIN II nozzle on P5.
