Still photos of the Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests (ALT) are available in several resolutions at http://www1.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/ALT/index.html |
| Description | This video is an edited approach and landing of the Enterprise on Rogers Dry Lake. The air-to-air shot of the Space Shuttle at a few thousand feet above the lakebed, gives some idea of the steepness required for a Shuttle approach; also note the long pitot tube (an appendage used only for flight testing) extending from the Space Shuttle nose. |
