Dryden is working with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to develop collision avoidance technologies for fighter/attack aircraft that would reduce the risk of ground and mid-air collisions in the Fighter Risk Reduction Project.
Following the challenge by President John F. Kennedy in 1962 to land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth, two separate entities began working on a way to prepare astronauts for the critical descent and landing on the moon. The problems facing them were considerable: how to build a free-flying simulator that could negate 5/6ths of the Earth's gravity while entirely eliminating the effects of the atmosphere, since the moon had no atmosphere and only 1/6th of Earth's gravity.
The STS-128 crew will deliver logistics and supplies to the International Space Station.
