Background/History of the Laboratory:
Dryden Flight Research Center is NASA's premier flight research and test organization for the validation of high-risk, pioneering aerospace technology, space exploration concepts,
and the conduct of science mission observations. Located at Edwards, California, in the western Mojave Desert, Dryden is uniquely situated to take advantage of the excellent year-round flying weather, remote area, and visibility
to test some of the nation's most exciting air vehicles. For 60 years, projects at Dryden have led to major advancements in the design and capabilities of many state-of-the-art civilian and military aircraft. The newest, the
fastest, the highest -- all have made their debut in the vast, clear desert skies over Dryden. Dryden Flight Research Center plays a vital role in advancing technology and science through flight. Here, we demonstrate America's
leadership in aeronautics and space technology as we continue to push the envelope to revolutionize aviation and pioneer aerospace technology.
Mission of the Laboratory:
Advancing technology and science through flight. Dryden Flight Research
Center accomplishes this mission by performing flight research and technology integration to revolutionize aviation and pioneer aerospace technology, validating space exploration concepts, conducting airborne remote sensing
and science missions, and supporting operations of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station for NASA and the nation.
