Summary

Description
English: The X-38, a research vehicle built to help develop technology for an emergency Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) for the International Space Station, descends under its steerable parachute during a July 1999 test flight at the Dryden Flight Research Centre, Edwards AFB, California. It was the fourth free flight of the test vehicles in the X-38 programme, and the second free flight test of Vehicle 132 or Ship 2. The goal of this flight was to release the vehicle from a higher altitude -- 31,500 feet -- and to fly the vehicle longer -- 31 seconds -- than any previous X-38 vehicle had yet flown. The project team also conducted aerodynamic verification maneuvers and checked improvements made to the drogue parachute.
