Title : Close-up of Wing Fit Check of Pylon to Carry the X-38 on B-52 Launch
Caption :
The new pylon for the X-38 following a fit-check on NASA's B-52 at the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, in 1997. The fit-check was the first time the 1,200-pound steel pylon was mated to the B-52 following fabrication at Dryden by the Center's Experimental Fabrication Shop. The pylon was built as an ''adapter'' to allow the X-38 research vehicle to be carried aloft and launched from the B-52.
