10 FLIGHT International, 23 April I964 For solid performance in outer space, see DOUGLAS! DOUGLAS-BUILT DELTAS have launched a majority of all Free World scientific and research satellites. Developed under the direction of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this three-stage space booster has the remarkable record of 22 consecutive successes. SPACECRAFT SHAPES that can race through earth's atmosphere in seconds without deteriorating from the intense heat and shear effects are model- tested in the Douglas Aerophysics Laboratory. This Douglas-owned, 10- million-dollar facility includes wind tunnels with speeds up to 12 times that of sound, a hypervelocity impulse tun- nel, and a ballistics range that can test models at speeds up to more than 23,000 miles per hour. PACKAGING THE EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT for delivery anywhere in the solar system is the aim of Douglas biotechnology research. Means are being developed to provide spacemen with air where there isn't any . . . comfort where the temperature ranges from the cold of near zero to a re-entry heat of thousands of degrees . . . protection against gravity extremes from none at all to many times what people are subjected to on earth . . . and many other equally important factors relating to man's survival in space.
