NASA Lab Fosters Passion into Aerospace Innovation

NASA's Dale Reed Subscale Flight Research Laboratory uses remotely piloted aircraft to test new aerospace concepts. The team's lifelong passion for aviation drives their work on advanced navigation systems and aeronautics.

Engineers Derek Abramson, Justin Hall, and Justin Link lead the lab, integrating technologies with aircraft and designing flight experiments.

The lab supports future Moon and Mars missions, including the SPLICE experiment for precise landing and hazard detection.

Their expertise covers technical oversight, system design, problem-solving, and vehicle fabrication.

Personal passion for flight began in childhood, leading to careers in aviation and aerospace.

Abramson's early interest evolved into work on advanced aircraft. Hall was inspired by historic flights, leading him to fly subscale models for NASA.

Link, with a military aviation family history, started building aircraft at age five and has drone experience.

Their combined experience enables rapid design and testing for NASA's missions.
