From moon landings to crash and splash tests
Рет қаралды 210,110
Күн бұрынWhat is now the Landing Impact and Research Facility at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., was built in 1965 to test the lunar landing module, which simulated touchdown procedures for the Apollo moon missions. At 240 feet high and 400 feet long, it looks like a giant steel erector set.
It is now used to conduct crash testing of full scale aircraft under controlled conditions and splash testing of space capsule mock ups.

I wonder how many people tend to think that we just draw up designs for spacecraft and then build them and put them on launch pads, because it still amazes me to this day how much testing goes into making things work as well as they do, under all these extreme conditions. Yet we make them work and we get out there. My respect for our species never ceases to grow. A large part of that is thanks to NASA.

This seems oddly familiar, except I usually see little green men flying in my versions.

Cool video would like to see some impact force measurements at the side as some of those drops looked brutal. One question though was the footage from the lunar landing module footage filmed in the same studio as the 1969 moon landing?

+michaelaltun Actually we have used the hydro impact basin for more than 30 different tests of two space capsule mock up designs and more are planned.

I'm not saying it's unjustified, I'm just saying you guys are always willing to go the extra mile. also thanks for the reply.

+NASA Langley Research Center do you know the name of the song you all used for the background music by any chance

+Ian Murrell I did a Shazam check on this. Looks like canned music, the kind that comes in video production packages. Specifically, Shazam came up with "Technology Drones 2" from "Noises and Drones" by Joseph Saba & Stewart Winter. I haven't been able to find a playable source of that song online to verify it, however.

И в чем суть этих тестов? Для галочки "Тест выполнен"? Когда в реальной ситуации высота и скорость в десятки, а то и сотни раз больше.Просто бесполезность.

Usually for small scale tests
