1941 | AN XB-28 model being prepared for wind tunnel testing in 1941. |
1943 | Construction proceeds on the 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel in 1943 while a Navy patrol blimp hovers in the background. |
1947 | First to fly faster than the speed of sound-on October 14, 1947-the XS-1 with then Captain Charles Yeager at the controls. |
1949 | The Reeves Electronic Analog Computer (REAC), the first electronic computing machine at Ames, was acquired in 1949 to perform control simulation analyses. |
1952 | H. Julian Allen, Ames second director and the originator of the blunt-body concept used for the first Earth reentry vehicles (Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo). |
1961 | The famed rocket-powered X-15 aircraft was flown by Ames-Dryden to an altitude of 354,000 feet and 6.7 times the speed of sound. |
1963 | An early reentry vehicle concept, the M2F2, being tested for low speed landing in the 40x80 wind tunnel. |
1965 | Pioneer spacecraft begins planetary exploration. |
1965-1968 | First digital fly-by-wire aircraft control system in the United States. |
1972 | Artist concept of a Pioneer spacecraft over Jupiter. Both Pioneer 10 and 11 flew past that planet and returned the first close-up pictures. |
1975 | First flight of Kuiper C-141 Airborne Observatory infrared astronomy platform. |
1976 | First oblique-wing research aircraft. |
1977 | The XV-15 tilt-rotor-the efficiency of a fixed-wing, turboprop aircraft with the vertical flight capability of a helicopter-achieves high speed forward flight with vertical takeoff and landing. |
1981 | The Dryden Flight Research Facility, with numerous runways several miles long on its dry lake beds, is a major Space Shuttle landing site. |
1985 | Ultraviolt image of Halley's Comet obtained by pioneer venus when the comet was close to perihelion. |
1989 | Launching of the Galileo probe, designed at Ames. To descend into Jupiter's atmosphere in 1995. |
1990 | First lauch of the winded, 3-stage rocket Pegasus, from Ames B-52 aircraft. The first time a payload was launched by a privately developed space booster. |
1991 | One of a chain of sinkholes, whose detection by remote sensing imagery led to discovering the outline of a buried crater rim in the Yucatan Peninsula. |
1995 | Galileo Probe enters atmosphere of the giant planet Jupiter. |
