11. The satellite was launched in March 1974 as an engineering test bed of technologies in orbit. 12. He was succeeded as chief engineering test pilot at Lockheed by Herman " Fish " Salmon. 13. Only the top rankers of Rajasthan Pre Engineering Test ( RPETEAP ) get admission to the institution. 14. He became an Air Force engineering test pilot, testing new systems as they became available for jet aircraft. 15. But they never spent the money to do the required engineering tests to understand exactly what was going on. 16. In addition, they performed 16 engineering tests aboard the Orbiter Columbia and 20 Extended Duration Orbiter Medical Project experiments. 17. Two were registered and flown, CF-TRI ( later C-FTRI ) and C-GATE, while the third was an engineering test airframe. 18. Between 1991 and 1994, David was Director of the Development Testing Center, supervising a broad spectrum of engineering test facilities. 19. In addition, the crew performed 10 engineering tests aboard the Orbiter Columbia and 9 Extended Duration Orbiter Medical Project experiments. 20. He and chief engineering test pilot Milo Burcham alternated flying dive tests to observe the design's performance at transonic speeds.
