The Paresev 1-A standing at Rogers Dry Lakebed at the NASA Flight Research Center (now Armstrong Flight Research Center), Edwards, California. Mercury Astronaut Gus Grissom is at left and NASA test pilot Milton Thompson is at right. The Paresev evaluated a potential replacement for parachutes used on spacecraft. The Paresev was steerable and was evaluated for use on the Gemini spacecraft. The idea was not workable, however. Image # : E-8937 Date: October 17, 1962
