Summary

[edit]
Description
English: NASA’s SR-71 streaks into the twilight with full afterburner on the first night/science flight from the Dryden Flight Research Facility. Onboard were research pilot Steve Ishmael and flight engineer Marta Bohn-Meyer.
Mounted in the nose of the SR-71 was an ultraviolet video camera aimed skyward to capture images of stars, asteroids and comets. This flight checked the operation of the camera to insure the air turbulence at Mach speeds and the vibration of the aircraft did not interfere with the operation of the camera. The science portion of the flight is a project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
Deutsch: Eine NASA SR-71 der Dryden Flight Research Facility steigt mit zugeschaltetem Nachbrenner im ersten Nacht-Wissenschaftsflug in der Dämmerung auf. An Bord befanden sich der Forschungspilotin Steve Ishmael und die Flugingenieurin Marta Bohn-Meyer.
In der Nase der SR-71 befand sich eine ultraviolette Videokamera, die zum Himmel gerichtet war, um Bilder von Sternen, Asteroiden und Kometen aufzunehmen. Dieser Flug überprüfte den Betrieb der Kamera, um sicherzustellen, dass die Luftturbulenzen bei Mach-Geschwindigkeiten und die Vibration des Flugzeugs nicht den Betrieb der Kamera stören. Der wissenschaftliche Teil des Fluges ist ein Projekt des Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Kalifornien.
