NASA and industry engineers conducted a design limit load test of the Ares I rocket's main parachute Oct. 8 at the U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground near Yuma, Ariz. From the back of a U.S. Air Force C-17 aircraft, researchers dropped a 72,000-pound payload -- tying the record for the heaviest load ever extracted from the aircraft during flight -- from an altitude of 25,000 feet. The parachute and all test hardware functioned properly and landed safely.

A series of drop tests into the Hydro Impact Basin at the Landing and Impact Research Facility at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia helped SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule prepare to safely land astronauts. A mock-up of the capsule with two instrumented crash test devices seated inside was tested in March 2019, representing how the capsule may impact the water during splashdown with different wind and parachute dynamics. Data collected helps understand pressures on the capsule and how those forces affect the spacecraft and occupants. Crew Dragon will carry NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station in the Demo-2 mission, the final SpaceX flight test for NASA's Commercial Crew Program and the first flight of astronauts to orbit from U.S. soil since the space shuttle's retirement in 2011.

Originally developed to simulate lunar landing operations, after the Apollo Program the structure was converted into a drop test facility used to simulate aircraft crashes. The grid screen at the left of the facility is used as a backdrop for the impacts to allow engineers to measure angles and impact speeds.

Set Review - 70815 Police Dropship
---
Since i seen the LEGO Movie i was in anticipation of this set.
A Dropship ... i mean ... the fact itself is awesome, but to call it my own was a "must"!
---
The building experience adds a great touch to my own skills and i love the techniques, like how the side doors open and the grav pads move.
At the end there were just two things to do:
Swooshing and droping -
It works!

Boeing conducted the first in a series of reliability tests of its CST-100 Starliner flight drogue and main parachute system by releasing a long, dart-shaped test vehicle from a C-17 aircraft over Yuma, Arizona. Two more tests are planned using the dart module, as well as three similar reliability tests using a high fidelity capsule simulator designed to simulate the CST-100 Starliner capsule’s exact shape and mass. In both the dart and capsule simulator tests, the test spacecraft are released at various altitudes to test the parachute system at different deployment speeds, aerodynamic loads, and or weight demands. Data collected from each test is fed into computer models to more accurately predict parachute performance and to verify consistency from test to test. Photo credit: NASA

About the drop test:
Under a brilliant early morning Arizona sky, NASA conducted a successful, record-breaking test of a drogue parachute being designed to return next-generation space vehicles safely to Earth. The 77,000-pound payload used in the test was dropped from the back of a U.S. Air Force C-17 at an altitude of 25,000 feet, setting a record for the heaviest single load ever extracted out of a C-17 during flight. NASA conducted the drop test, April 14, at the U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground near Yuma, Ariz.

Hangar 135, Ellington Air Force Base, sometime during 1963.
Quite the assortment of no longer needed items, ingloriously stored in the corner. From left to right, I think they’re; the Big Joe (Big Joe 1) capsule (farthest back), a wrapped unidentified Mercury capsule (possibly from a Little Joe test flight?), BP-25 (maybe BP-1?), maybe BP-25’s (BP-1’s?) forward heat shield, an unidentified Mercury parachute/drop-test boilerplate capsule, and last, but not least, the exotic, NAA-manufactured, ‘JFK co-star’ concept lunar lander.
The large machine along the wall, to the left of the lunar lander is a Cincinnati mechanical press brake, a machine used for bending sheet metal & metal plates. So, fabrication of aircraft/aerospace parts was performed here? As part of making repairs? Modifications? Interesting.
In front of the covered Mercury capsule is a radial drilling machine/radial drill press, used for drilling, boring, reaming, and thread cutting, particularly on large or heavy workpieces that are difficult to move.
The above has caused me to rethink what transpires in hangars. Ignorantly & passingly, I’d vaguely considered maintenance & repairs, but not to a degree that requires press brakes & radial drill presses. Those would seem to be associated with construction. Then again, who’d have considered them housing above-ground pools with boilerplate capsules in them???

NASA and industry engineers will drop a 72,000 pound test payload including this “jumbo dart” test article from the back of a U.S. Air Force C-17 aircraft to test the design limit load of the Ares I rocket's main parachute. Engineers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manage the team conducting the test – the first in a series of three planned load limit tests – designed to place 100 percent of the flight dynamic pressures on the main parachute canopy. The main parachute, measuring 150 feet in diameter and weighing 2,000 pounds, is the largest rocket parachute ever built and the primary element of the rocket's deceleration and recovery system, which also includes a pilot parachute and drogue parachute. The parachutes work in tandem providing the drag necessary to slow the descent of the huge Ares I solid rocket motor.

NASA and industry engineers will drop a 72,000 pound test payload from the back of a U.S. Air Force C-17 aircraft from an altitude of 25,000 feet, tying the record for the heaviest load ever extracted from the aircraft during flight . The payload includes the main parachute for the Ares I rocket. This drop test is designed to push the parachute’s canopy to its limit -- supporting a 250,000-pound dynamic load. Dynamic load weight is generated by the drag and pull of the payload. The primary test objective is to achieve a dynamic pressure of 110 pounds per square foot on the canopy, simulating the conditions the main parachute will experience when it is deployed to slow the rapid descent of the rocket's spent first-stage motor. Engineers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manage the team conducting the test.
