Nose cap of the CRV test plant X-38

X-38 was designed to be a technology demonstrator of NASA for the life boat CRV (crew Return Vehicle) for the international space station ISS. Placed on a booster rocket a later development into an independent Crew Transport Vehicle (CTV) should be possible. Within the TETRA program (technologies for future space transport systems) essential components were developed in the range of the hot structures as well as a sensor system for X-38 and supplied to NASA. Beside the German industry the DLR was integrated into the development of components as well.
