I had the distinct pleasure of working with Bob West on the Apollo Earth Landing parachute system during the drop testing and qualification phases. I made several trips to El Centro, CA, to represent Bob, and the Johnson Space Center during the development and qualification of the parachute system that was formally known as the Apollo Earth Landing System (AELS). Bob was the consummate professional and was always a real pleasure to work with.
