Approach and Landing Tests Film Documentary

Documentary of shuttle Enterprise on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), separating from the SCA in flight, and in free-flight. Footage shows SCA pilots Fitzhugh “Fitz” Fulton and Tom McMurtry heading to the aircraft, and Gordon Fullerton and Fred Haise following a flight in the prototype shuttle.
During the nearly one-year-long series of tests, Enterprise was taken aloft on the SCA to study the aerodynamics of the mated vehicles and, in a series of five free flights, tested the glide and landing characteristics of the orbiter prototype.
