A look back at a NASA Langley research pilot flying a tethered lunar lander in a test conducted in the Lunar Landing Research Facility (LLRF) in 1967. #apollo #lunarlander #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

A little bit about the Redstone rocket at Pima Air and Space Museum and how they were used on Mercury program. #mercuryredstone #nasa #pimaairandspacemuseum #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is the Rotating Service Structure moved into place around Orbiter Endeavour OV-105. The RSS provided protected access to the shuttle for changeout and servicing of payloads at the pad. The structure was supported by a rotating bridge that pivoted about a vertical axis on the west side of the pad's flame trench. The RSS rotated through 120 degrees on a radius of 160 feet. Support for the outer end of the bridge was provided by two eight-wheel, motor-driven trucks that mov

This Mobility Test Article (MTA) was a concept of a possible dual mode Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) built by the Grumman, sure looks like the….? #mta #lrv #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is NASA's Landing Systems Research Aircraft (LSRA), a modified Convair 990. A new landing gear test fixture representative of the shuttle's landing gear system had been installed in the lower fuselage of the CV-990 test aircraft between the aircraft's normal main landing gear. Following initial flights, static loads testing and calibration of the test gear were conducted at Dryden. Tests allowed engineers to assess the performance of the space shuttle's main and nose lan
