Description

  • How systems developed for the X-15 were applied to manned spacecraft, including the use of telemetry to transmit live data real-time, the design of the side-stick controller, the use of thrusters for stability outside the atmosphere and the use of a mission management concept which formed the basis for controlling the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo flights of the 1960s.
  • Working descriptions of the way the X-15 engineering principles and research data were vital to the development of the NASA Shuttle.
  • Details of the way the X-15 was designed, and an explanation of the technologies specifically developed for the aircraft, including research into hypersonic flight, and the unique propulsion system.
  • Descriptions of the tracking and data gathering equipment, the selection and conversion of a carrier plane for the X-15 and the design and control of the Edwards Air Force Base test range from where the 199 flights originated.
  • Details of the men who engineered and flew the X-15, including legendary North American test pilot Scott Crossfield and NASA's Neil Armstrong.
  • Appendices identifying primary data for each of the 199 flights, along with a glossary of terms.
