EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Convair CV-990 N810NA, also known as NASA 810, a vital research aircraft used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the late 1990s. With the registration number N810NA and manufacturing serial number msn 30-10-29, this Convair CV-990-30A-5 aircraft was previously identified as N5617. The CV-990 N810NA served a crucial role in NASA's research efforts, specifically focusing on testing the undercarriage systems of the Shuttle Orbiter. The intricate design and engineering of the undercarriage systems were essential for the safe and successful landing of the orbiter after its missions in space. In this image, the N810NA is seen in its working environment, likely at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The aircraft's distinctive Convair livery, adorned with NASA insignia, adds to its unique character. The Shuttle Orbiter can be seen in the background, dwarfed by the size of the research aircraft. The CV-990 N810NA's contributions to NASA's research efforts were invaluable, enabling the continued success of the Shuttle Program. This photograph is a testament to the importance of aviation and aeronautical engineering in space exploration. This photograph is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a glimpse into the history of aviation and space exploration through captivating imagery.
