NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center

US

The Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC), a NASA center located in Edwards, California, is the agency's primary hub for high-risk atmospheric flight research and test projects. AFRC supports NASA's missions by testing advanced aeronautics, space, and related technologies, and manages programs like the Flight Opportunities program for suborbital testing. They partner with organizations like Johnson Space Center and Lockheed Martin, focusing on areas like launch abort systems and providing space-to-ground communication support for the International Space Station. Key activities include flight research, technology integration, and validation of space exploration concepts.
