Description: |
NASA Dryden conducted Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) parachute recovery systems tests that used Dryden's NB-52B for the Drop Test Vehicle (DTV). The purpose of the tests, from June 1977 through 1978 and again from September 1983 - March 1985, were to validate the system to recover the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster casings once their propellant was exhausted. |
