Title
Lunar Landing Research Vehicle in Flight
Full Description
This 1964 NASA Flight Reserch Center photograph shows the Lunar Landing Research
Vehicle (LLRV) Number 1 in flight at the South Base of Edwards Air Force Base.
When Apollo planning was underway in 1960, NASA was looking for a simulator to
profile the descent to the moon's surface. Three concepts emerged: an
electronic simulator, a tethered device, and the ambitious Dryden contribution,
a free-flying vehicle. All three became serious projects, but eventually
the NASA Flight Research Center's (FRC) Landing Research Vehicle became the most
important.
