The NASA Scientific and Technical Information Program visits the NASA Langley Research Center Gantry, also know as the Lunar Landing Research Facility (LLRF) to celebrate the Langley Centennial birthday. This large steel structure was first used by the Apollo astronauts to practice their decent to the lunar surface. The LLRF is still used today as a crash testing site for aircraft and a water impact drop facility to NASA's Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle. Visit the NTRS for documents detailing research performed at the LLRF https://go.usa.gov/xNhak
