Researcher checks model of Project Fire Reentry package to be tested in Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel. Project FIRE (Flight Investigation Reentry Environment) studied the effects of reentry heating on spacecraft materials. It involved both wind tunnel and flight tests, although the majority were tests with Atlas rockets and recoverable reentry packages. These flight tests took place at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Wind tunnel tests were made in several Langley tunnels including the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel, the 8-foot High-Temperature Tunnel and the 9x6-Foot Thermal Structures Tunnel.

HAMPTON, Va. – A precise scale model of the Dream Chaser spacecraft begins an evaluation inside the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. The Dream Chaser is in development by Sierra Nevada Corporation in partnership with NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The data gathered from the wind tunnel was used to further test the design through the company's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability agreement with NASA. Photo credit: NASA/ David C. Bowman
