Between 1981 and 2011, NASA's reusable transportation system, the Space Shuttle, completed 135 launches. Along with launching and servicing many satellites, space-based observatories and planetary missions, the Shuttle also lifted most of the components for the Space Station into orbit. It helped build a commercial space industry by launching non-governmental satellites for private companies. Following NASA's lead, European governments banded together to create the European Space Agency. With cooperation from Canada, Japan and Russia, the International Space Station was created. This book looks at the legacy of the Space Shuttle, its missions and roles, and appreciates that, as an engineering feat, it was a marvel.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In the aftermath of six Moon landings, and in a giant leap of faith with a largely reusable launch system, NASA pinned all its hopes on a technological wonder the Space Shuttle. After ten years of development, it began flight operations in 1981, and, in over 30 years of sustained activity, the Space Shuttle program conducted 135 launches carrying satellites, spacecraft, experiment modules, and scientific platforms into orbit. It also helped build the International Space Station and sent expeditionary crews to the orbiting laboratory to support a permanent human presence in orbit from the year 2000. Five Orbiters hauled loads between Earth and destinations in space, bringing back failed satellites, used experiments, and crewmembers returning after a sojourn at the Space Station. However, there have also been tragedies two flights failed, and 14 astronauts lost their lives but the Shuttle program continued on, learning from past failures. With over 170 images, this book shares the inspiring story of how the Shuttle came about, how it was built and how it worked both as equally thrilling as the missions themselves, all of which are described, along with a complete list of every flight. Between 1981 and 2011, NASA's reusable transportation system, the Space Shuttle, has completed 135 launches. This book looks at the Shuttles used and the launches they completed.
