Title
LASRE Pod Matting to SR-71
Full Description
This is a rear/side view of the Linear Aerospike SR Experiment (LASRE)
pod on NASA SR-71, tail number 844. This photo was taken during the
fit-check of the pod on Feb. 15, 1996, at Lockheed Martin Skunkworks
in Palmdale, California.
The LASRE experiment was designed to provide in-flight data to help
Lockheed Martin evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics and the
handling of the SR-71 linear aerospike experiment configuration. The
goal of the project was to provide in-flight data to help Lockheed
Martin validate the computational predictive tools it was using to
determine the aerodynamic performance of a future reusable launch
vehicle.
The joint NASA, Rocketdyne (now part of Boeing), and Lockheed Martin
Linear Aerospike SR-71 Experiment (LASRE) completed seven initial
research flights at Dryden Flight Research Center.
