June 30, 2014 - Bishop Lifting Products was recently part of a project that involved fitting slings onto a NASA capsule at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas.
Designed and fabricated by BLP Houston, the sling basket was created to secure and recover the NASA capsule. After being deployed into one of the outer atmospheres, it will return to Earth and land in water. A team of NASA and U.S. Navy divers will recover the capsule to study it.
The sling was specifically designed to not disrupt or impact any part of the capsule, in order to study it correctly.
