Mars spacecraft designs will try to survive the elements in this 100-foot tall wind tunnel.
“What we’re going to do with this facility is literally change the world,” said Clayton Turner, director of NASA Langley Research Center, inceremony. “The humble spirit of our researchers and this effort will allow us to reach for new heights, to reveal the unknown, for the betterment of humankind.”
Wind tunnels push air past a stationary object, usually using huge fans, to simulate the motion of air around, over, and under flying craft. This allows engineers to tweak their designs based on what they see in the experiment, making vehicles more stable and aerodynamic. The wind tunnel is a safe place to try out new technologies, and a key step in testing the safety of any craft before a human jumps aboard.
