Title:
NASA X-38
Caption:
The NASA X-38 Crew Return Vehicle was a prototype for a wingless lifting body reentry vehicle that was to be used as a Crew Return Vehicle for the International Space Station (ISS). The X-38 was developed to the point of a drop test vehicle before its development was cancelled in 2002 due to budget cuts. Here, technicians examine the aircraft after landing on a dry lakebed. The parafoil parachute in the foreground steered the X-38 after it was released from a B-52 bomber; March 30th, 2000.
