It upgrade the facility for launch testing a VTVL rocket in 2012. All SpaceX rocket engines and thrusters at "pass through McGregor where the company tests each new engine off of the assembly line, as well as those being developed for future missions to orbit and beyond". As of October 2012, the McGregor facility has seven test stands that are operated "18 hours a day, six days a week" and is building more test stands because production is ramping up and the company has a large manifest in the next several years.
