Testing of the Space Shuttle landing gear system, visible between the two main landing gear components on this NASA CV-990, modified as a Landing Systems Research Aircraft. The Space Shuttle landing gear test unit, operated by a high-pressure hydraulic system, allowed engineers to assess and document the performance of space shuttle main and nose landing gear systems, tires and wheel assemblies, plus braking and nose wheel steering performance. #convair990 #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
