Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos. Check out our "Thinking About NASA History" folder online as an introduction to how history can help you.
In the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, a succession of experimental aircraft were flown at Dryden. These airplanes, including the X-1E now on display in front of Dryden's main building, were unique vehicles designed for specific research purposes. At most, only a few copies of each were ever built. The craft rarely ventured beyond the airspace over the dry lake testing area.
During the 1960s, the rocket-powered X-15 put Dryden on the map; later the Space Shuttle program kept it there. People the world over have watched on television as orbiters ended their missions with landings at Edwards, which now serves as a back-up Shuttle landing site. Relatively few, however, know that the feasibility of a spacecraft capable of landing like an airplane was first tested and proven at Dryden through the lifting body projects of the 1960s and early 1970s.
