| Description |
Developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, the Pegasus is an air-launched orbital launch vehicle capable of carrying small payloads into a low earth orbit. It first flew in 1990 and has three solid propellant stages with an optional monopropellant fourth stage. Launched at 39,000ft, it was initially carried by a NASA B-52 Stratofortress, but more recently by modified Lockheed Tristar ‘N140SC’ known as “Stargazer” and operated by Orbital. This example was built using a 1994 first-stage motor used for ground testing and the wing recovered from a Pegasus that had been to space. It was donated to the Smithsonian Institute by Orbital Sciences in 2004 and is now part of the National Air and Space Museum. It is seen on display in the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center Washington Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia 7th May 2015 |
