Approach & Landing Test Patch

Item PAPGMALT Price $4.95

The nine-month-long Approach & Landing Test program was conducted from February through November 1977 at the Dryden Flight Research Facility and demonstrated that the orbiter could fly in the atmosphere and land like an airplane, except without power-gliding flight. Two NASA astronaut crews - Fred Haise and Gordon Fullerton and Joe Engle and Dick Truly - took turns flying the 150,000-pound Enterprise to free-flight landings.

4" diameter embroidered patch.
