NASA engineers have concluded that it is feasible to build future space capsules using advanced composite materials. A team led by the NASA Engineering and Safety Center designed and built such a space capsule, called a crew module, then mounted the full-scale test article into a custom-built rig for static testing at NASAs Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va.
