Drop Test at Lunar Landing Research Facility

Originally developed to simulate lunar landing operations, after the Apollo Program the structure was converted into a drop test facility used to simulate aircraft crashes. The grid screen at the left of the facility is used as a backdrop for the impacts to allow engineers to measure angles and impact speeds.
