CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – An instrument-laden capsule begins its descent from 105,000 feet above Earth during a flight hosted by Rocket University participants. After the high-altitude balloon carrying it burst, the capsule free-fell to 50,000 feet and then deployed a parachute to land safely on the ground. The test flight was used to evaluate the stability of the capsule as it fell to Earth before its parachute opened. Rocket University is a program of courses, workshops, labs and projects offered to engineering and research pros of all stripes to keep their skills fresh and broaden their experiences. Photo credit: Courtesy of Rocket University The work is part of Transition and Retirement of the remaining space shuttles, Atlantis and Endeavour. Atlantis is being prepared for public display at Kennedy's Visitor Complex. Over the course of its 26-year career, Atlantis spent 293 days in space during 33 missions.
