The vehicle reached a maximum altitude of 71,500 feet and a maximum speed of Mach 1.613.Dana joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s High-Speed Flight Station On October 1, 1958 (the birthday of NASA). As a research pilot, he was involved in some of the most significant aeronautical programs carried out at the Center. In the late 1960s and in the 1970s Dana was a project pilot on the lifting body program which flew several versions of the wingless vehicles and produced data that helped in development of the Space Shuttles. For his contributions to the lifting body program, Dana received the NASA Exceptional Service Medal. In 1976 he received the Haley Space Flight Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for his research work on the M2-F3 lifting body control systems.In 1993 Dana became Chief Engineer at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center.

John made the first supersonic flight of a lifting body and the first landing of a lifting body on a hard surface runway.Manke served as Director of the Flight Operations and Support Directorate at the Dryden Flight Research Center prior to its integration with Ames Research Center in October 1981. After this date John was named to head the joint Ames-Dryden Directorate of Flight Operations.
