1987SPACE EXPLORATION
SINCE 1917, NASA'S LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER, VIRGINIA, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF AIRCRAFT AND SPACECRAFT SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION TO AN OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF LANGLEY'S CONTRIBUTIONS, NASA'S SCIENTISTS EXPLAIN SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN WIND TUNNELS, FLIGHT TESTING, AND AIRCRAFT DESIGN. INCLUDES PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY'S CHALLENGE TO LAND MEN ON THE MOON, DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE VIKING MISSION TO MARS, AND FOOTAGE FROM THE MERCURY PROGRAM THRU THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM. ALSO INCLUDES A LOOK AT SPACE STATION FREEDOM AND NATIONAL AEROSPACE PLANE DEVELOPMENTS.
