Manned Wingless Capsule Heralds Future Space Ferry
At Edwards Air Force Base Milton O. Thompson piloted a wingless lifting body capsule from 45000 feet gliding to a dry lake landing. The 22 by 10 foot craft reached 456 mph making two 90 degree turns before a near 200 mph touchdown. Thompson noted a momentary control error but praised the flight as part of the space ferry program. The test aims to assess reentry viability and future satellite to earth transport options. It will later add a rocket engine to reach 80000 feet and 1200 mph for space reentry simulations.
