Mars Exploration Rover Internally NASA also uses the mission designations MER-A (Spirit) and MER-B (Opportunity) based on the order of landing on Mars (Spirit first then Opportunity).

NASA used assembly

Apollo/Skylab A7L For the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, NASA decided to use the A7LB CMP pressure suit assembly worn on the J-missions with a few changes to save cost and weight since an EVA was not planned during the mission.

NASA used aircraft

Saunders-Roe Princess After spending a number of years in mothballs , two at Calshot Spit, awating further use, NASA considered using the fleet as heavy-duty freight aircraft for transporting Saturn V rocket components.

NASA used Hornet

High Alpha Research Vehicle The High Alpha (angle of attack) Research Vehicle was a modified F/A-18 Hornet used by NASA in a 3-phase program investigating controlled flight at high angles of attack using thrust vectoring, modifications to the flight controls, and forebody strakes.

NASA used station

Space toilet The Skylab space station, used by NASA between May, 1973 and March, 1974, had an onboard WCS facility which served as a prototype for the Shuttle's WCS, but also featured an onboard shower facility.

NASA used versions

Where no man has gone before Interestingly, the situation came full circle in 1989, when NASA used the Star Trek version of the quote to title their retrospective of Project Apollo: Where No Man Has Gone Before: A History of Apollo Lunar Exploration Missions.

NASA used MER-A

Mars Exploration Rover Internally NASA also uses the mission designations MER-A (Spirit) and MER-B (Opportunity) based on the order of landing on Mars (Spirit first then Opportunity).

Vangelis In 2001, Vangelis performed live and released Mythodea, a predominantly orchestral rather than electronic piece that was originally written in 1993, and used by NASA as the theme for the Mars Odyssey mission.

NASA used Gulfstream G-II

Lockheed NF-104A A modified Gulfstream G-II has been used by NASA for similar training for the Space Shuttle program.

NASA used alloys

Al-Li In addition, Al-Li alloys are also used on both the Atlas V and Delta IV EELV rockets, and will be used by NASA for Project Constellation, primarily on its Ares I and Ares V rockets, as well as the Orion spacecraft.

NASA used MER-B

Mars Exploration Rover Internally NASA also uses the mission designations MER-A (Spirit) and MER-B (Opportunity) based on the order of landing on Mars (Spirit first then Opportunity).

NASA used installations

Microwave Scanning Beam Landing System MSBLS installations used by NASA have to be certified every two years for accuracy.
