We posted a shot of a Morpheus test recently and since everyone went bananas for it, we thought we'd post another.... A tethered Morpheus prototype lander going airborn at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida. The test was performed to verify the lander’s autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology (ALHAT) sensors and integration systems. During the test, the Morpheus lander was lifted by a crane to 20 feet for an engine firing of about 74 seconds and then lowered to the ground. With the successful completion of the test, the Morpheus project team will begin preparing for the first free flight test with ALHAT.
