Project Fire Model
This is a scale replica of a Project Fire wind-tunnel model. The different layers of heat shield were designed to come off during test, so that more than one type of material could be evaluated
The Tools of Research
The orange box holds a motion picture camera, specially packaged to resist extremely high acceleration. Film drums were used to record and store information from flight recorders, such as the dual-range Flight Pressure Recorder
