NASA ran a 70 second test flight of its Morpheus lander at Johnson Space Center. The lander was connected to a crane and made a successful hover test.
NASA will send Morpheus to Kennedy Space Center for more ground testing before it makes a free flight.
NASA describes Morpheus as a prototype for future space vehicles that could be sent to various destinations in our solar system. The lander has undergone a year of testing at Johnson Space Center.
