Deutsch: Der Space-Shuttle-Prototyp Enterprise kurz nach der Entkoppelung vom 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) der NASA bei einem von fünf freien Flügen, die 1977 in der "Dryden Flight Research Facility" in Edwards, Kalifornien, im Rahmen des Anflug- und Landetests (ALT) des Shuttle-Programms durchgeführt wurden. Die Tests wurden durchgeführt, um die Aerodynamik und die Handhabung des Orbiters in Vorbereitung auf Orbitalflüge mit dem Space Shuttle Columbia zu überprüfen. Ein Heckkegel über dem Haupttriebwerksbereich von Enterprise glättete den turbulenten Luftstrom während des Fluges. Es wurde auf den beiden letzten Freiflügen entfernt, um die Anflug- und Landeeigenschaften genau zu überprüfen.
English: The Space Shuttle prototype Enterprise flies free of NASA's 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) during one of five free flights carried out at the Dryden Flight Research Facility, Edwards, California in 1977 as part of the Shuttle program's Approach and Landing Tests (ALT). The tests were conducted to verify orbiter aerodynamics and handling characteristics in preparation for orbital flights with the Space Shuttle Columbia. A tail cone over the main engine area of Enterprise smoothed out turbulent airflow during flight. It was removed on the two last free flights to accurately check approach and landing characteristics. |
