Titan IVB Space Launch Vehicle
DAYTON, Ohio - Air Force Research Laboratory engineers and technicians from the Structural Validation Branch of the Aerospace Vehicles Division, Aerospace Systems Directorate, partnered with museum restoration crews to assemble a 60 foot tall payload fairing from the Titan IVB space launch vehicle between Feb. 29-March 2, 2016. The impressive Titan IVB, with roots going back to the early days of U.S. Air Force and civil space launch, is significant as the museum looks to share the story of USAF and USAF-enabled space operations in its Space Gallery. The Titan IVB will be on display in the new fourth building at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force which opens to the public on June 8. (U.S. Air Force photo by Ken LaRock)
