Background/History of the Laboratory:
Dryden Flight Research Center is NASA's
premier flight research and test organization for the validation of high-
risk, pioneering aerospace technology, space exploration concepts, and the conduct of science mission
observations. Located at Edwards, Calif., in the western Mojave Desert, Dryden is uniquely situated
to take
advantage of the excellent year-round flying weather, remote area, and visibility to test some of the
nation's most
exciting air vehicles. For 60 years, projects at Dryden have led to major advancements in the design
and
capabilities of many state-of-the-art civilian and military aircraft. The newest, the fastest, the highest
- all have
made their debut in the vast, clear desert skies over Dryden. Dryden Flight Research Center plays a
vital role in
advancing technology and science through flight. Here, we demonstrate America's leadership in aeronautics
and
space technology as we continue to push the envelope to revolutionize aviation and pioneer aerospace
technology.
Mission of the Laboratory:
Advancing technology and science through
flight. Dryden Flight Research Center accomplishes this mission by
performing flight research and technology integration to revolutionize aviation and pioneer aerospace
technology, validating space exploration concepts, conducting airborne remote sensing and science missions,
and supporting operations of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station for NASA and the
nation.
