An experimental drag chute deploys amidst a cloud of dust behind NASA’s B-52 research aircraft just after landing on Rogers Dry Lake, adjacent to the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., on a 1990 research flight. The B-52’s tests led to the development of a drag chute to help the Space Shuttle land more safely and easily.August 2, 1990NASA Photo / NASA› B-52 Project Description
