While photographing the Supermoon on September 17, 2024 for a NASA GRC Aerospace Frontiers article on the 2024 Supermoon, a plane departing Cleveland Hopkins Airport flew right through the middle of the moon. The photographer used a portion of the rocket garden’s Ares 1 rocket and a corner of the NASA GRC hangar building to frame the photograph of the moon. When the plane was seen approaching, the photographer used continuous shutter speed in hopes of capturing the plane and the moon together

The Lockheed Viking S-3B aircraft was parked for re-fulling out near the hangar at Glenn Research Center in preparation for its departure and retirement from service. This former NAVY aircraft was the last such aircraft still flying. It has gone to a museum on the west coast. After leaving service with the NAVY, it came to GRC to be used in aircraft icing experiments. Tree branches frame the tail of this old war bird in front of the glass windows of the hangar door.

A T34-C aircraft reflects the large multi-paned windows on the Hangar doors. When NASA GRC obtained this T-34C from the Navy it was painted in ‚Äúthrowback‚Äù paint schemes from an earlier time in celebration of the 100th birthday of Naval Aviation. NASA kept it in the original paint job for posterity. This T-34C airplane will be GRCs surrogate aircraft for Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System aeronautics initiative.

The X-59 Commercial Supersonic Transport model is installed upside down in the test section of the GRC 8x6 Supersonic wind tunnel. The blade hanging from the top of the tunnel will be measuring the shock waves coming from the bottom of the model during testing. The shock waves coming from the bottom of the model represent the sonic boom reaching the ground during flight. The shape of the model is designed so as to greatly reduce the shock waves to prevent the typical boom coming from a supersonic aircraft.

The Lockheed Viking S-3B aircraft is being pulled out of the hangar at Glenn Research Center in preparation for its departure and retirement from service. This former NAVY aircraft was the last such aircraft still flying. It has gone to a museum on the west coast. After leaving service with the NAVY, it came to GRC to be used in aircraft icing experiments. The swept wings made it suitable for such research as opposed to the straight wings on GRG’s other icing research aircraft, the De Havilland Twin Otter.
Code R and Code D hosted NESC Principal Engineer Mike Kirsch who is Program Leader for Composite Crew Module (CCM). The purpose of the visit was to review/observe experiments that GRC is performing in support of the CCM program. The test object is the critical Low Impact Docking System/Tunnel interface joint that links the metal docking ring with the polymer composite tunnel element of the crew module pressure vessel. The rectangular specimens simulated the splice joint between the aluminum and the PMC sheets, including a PMC doubler sheet. GRC was selected for these tests due to our expertise in composite testing and our ability to perform 3D fullfield displacement and strain measurements of the complex bond geometry using digital image correlation. The specimens performed above their minimum load requirements and the full field strain measurements showed the strain levels at the critical bond line. This work is part of a joint Code D & R investigation.
Space Power Facility at Plum Brook Station, RUAG Ariane 5 Shroud Separation Tests. GRC has the world's largest vacuum chamber in the world. This world class facility is host to many space launch vehicle systems tests from customer's in this country and from around the world. Shown here is the post test of a successful rocket shroud separation test. The shroud, or top of a rocket, is jettisoned into two halves with explosive charges to allow the payload to be exposed for deployment. The payload, often time is a satellite, would be sitting atop the center white section shown in the middle of the photo. This photo was taken from on top of the rocket holding the payload and both halves of the rocket shroud looking down at one of the shroud halves and the test crew at the bottom.
