North American X-15 rocket plane landing on runway at Rogers Dry Lake, Edwards Air Force Base, California

Two chase planes break off from escorting an X-15 as it commences final approach to runway at Rogers Dry Lake, Edwards Air Force Base, California. The X-15 descends between surrounding hills, in a nose-high attitude and touches down on its skids, raising a trail of dust. Its nose gear contacts the ground immediately after its main gear skids. The X-15 continues a long way, leaving a trail of dust, until it finally comes to rest on the runway. AN H-21B helicopter flies over the stationary rocket plane.

Rocket powered aircraft X-15 with NB-52A Stratofortress in flight and lands at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

X-15 rocket plane in its first powered flight. Glimpse of water tower at Edwards Air Force Base, California. NASA NB-52, 52-003, carrying an X-15 under its wing is seen overhead, along with two chase planes. All are generating contrails. The X-15 releases from the B-52 and its separate contrail is seen. It lags well behind the B-52 for moment, and then accelerates up and past the B-52 mothership. It is seen as a white dot moving at high speed across the sky. (Note: This is X-15 No. 2, tail number: 56-6671. Scott Crossfield flew this mission at mach 2.11 and altitude 52,341 feet.)
