Home - Dryden Flight Research Center

Dryden Flight Research Center is NASA's primary installation for flight research. DFRC's mission is to conduct safe and timely flight research for discovery, technology development, and technology transfer for U.S. Aeronautics and Space Preeminence. Projects over the past 50 years have lead to major advancements in the design and capabilities of many civilian and military aircraft. Other mission elements at Dryden include, aeronautical flight research in support of global civil aviation; revolutionary technology leaps, and access to space; support development and operations of the Space Shuttle and future access-to-space vehicles; conduct airborne science mission and flight operations; and develop piloted and uninhabited aircraft testbeds for research and science missions. Dryden is a backup landing site for the Space Shuttle program and is a facility to test and validate design concepts and systems used in development and operation of the orbiters.
