![From 1962 to 1964, NASA used the Paresev to develop the technology for landing the two-man Gemini capsule on land, instead of parachuting into the ocean, as had been done in Project Mercury. The astronauts would release an inflatable paraglider wing based on the work of Francis Rogallo, and maneuver to a runway or dry lake bed. Astronauts "Gus" Grissom and Neil Armstrong were among those who piloted the Paresev during several hundred flights at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Paresev was towed by a ground vehicle or a small aircraft and released at an altitude between 5,000 Stock Photo](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2GGBNMB/from-1962-to-1964-nasa-used-the-paresev-to-develop-the-technology-for-landing-the-two-man-gemini-capsule-on-land-instead-of-parachuting-into-the-ocean-as-had-been-done-in-project-mercury-the-astronauts-would-release-an-inflatable-paraglider-wing-based-on-the-work-of-francis-rogallo-and-maneuver-to-a-runway-or-dry-lake-bed-astronauts-quotgusquot-grissom-and-neil-armstrong-were-among-those-who-piloted-the-paresev-during-several-hundred-flights-at-edwards-air-force-base-in-california-the-paresev-was-towed-by-a-ground-vehicle-or-a-small-aircraft-and-released-at-an-altitude-between-5000-2GGBNMB.jpg "From 1962 to 1964, NASA used the Paresev to develop the technology for landing the two-man Gemini capsule on land, instead of parachuting into the ocean, as had been done in Project Mercury.

COASTAL TIDINGS Come Fly with Me The 22nd annual Rogallo Kite Festival soars June 10-12 at Jockey's Ridge State Park at Nags Head. The festival honors Francis and Gertrude Rogallo, inventors of the flexible delta wing — an innovation that gave birth to hang gliding. In 1971, hang gliders utilizing the flexible wing design appeared in the world's first hang glider meet — marking a milestone in the evolution of nonpowered flight. Their flexible wing design conforms with. wind flow, provides more stability th
