Apollo Range Instrumented Aircraft
GSFC’s Bob Burns took this photo of an ARIA (10327), with the ALOTS [Airborne Lightweight Optical Tracking System] pod fitted, from his Connie, NASA 422, in June 1967. He writes, we were over northern Texas, coming back from Category II Acceptance Testing out over the Gulf of Mexico, heading back to Tulsa, Oklahoma. |
