NASA-Langley is the home of the world's most advanced wind tunnel, the National Transonic Facility, which uses crygenic nitrogen vapor to test models of advanced aircraft and spacecraft. Langley also employs hundreds of computers of every type and capacity in order both to gather and analyze wind tunnel data and to undertake mathematical visualizations of complex flow phenomena. Langley has been involved in every major NASA space program, and had primary responsibility for the development of the Viking Mars probes. Currently, Langley is involved in the National Aerospace Plane Program and in the development of erectable space structures.
