Photographic Print : HL-10 In Flight After Launch
Photo Prints from Space Images
HL-10 In Flight After Launch
The HL-10 lifting body is seen here in powered flight shortly after launch from the B-52 " Mothership". The HL-10 was one of five lifting body designs flown at NASAs Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, from July 1966 to November 1975 to study and validate the concept of safely maneuvering and landing a low lift-over-drag vehicle designed for re-entry from space. Ultimately, the lifting body design proved too difficult to control. It had a high landing speed. The design was not used for the space shuttle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the HL-10 lifting body in action, soaring through the skies shortly after its launch from the iconic B-52 "Mothership". Taken at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, this image represents a significant era of aerospace exploration. From July 1966 to November 1975, five different lifting body designs were tested here to investigate and validate the concept of safely maneuvering and landing low lift-over-drag vehicles upon re-entry from space. The HL-10 was one such experimental design that aimed to revolutionize space travel. However, despite its promising potential, it faced numerous challenges. This particular lifting body proved too difficult to control due to its high landing speed. Consequently, this innovative design was not utilized for the development of the space shuttle program. Nonetheless, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's atmosphere. It symbolizes an era when scientists and engineers pushed boundaries and explored new frontiers in aviation technology. The collaboration between Northrop B-52 "Mothership" and NASA's Flight Research Center played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of safe vehicle maneuverability during re-entry. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of both the triumphs and setbacks encountered on humanity's journey towards conquering outer space.
