Electronics and Power, 1977
In September 1976, the Enterprise was rolled out of its hangar at Palmdale, California, and not for yet another series of that well known US t.v. programme. The Enterprise is the name given to Orbiter 101, the part of Space Shuttle that will be launched into earth orbit and return to be reused.

Space Shuttle and Space Station [PDF]
, 2012 For mankind, space exploration has always been a mix of curiosity, utility and profitability. Any ambitious space plan mostly becomes successful provided trained manpower, technology support and adequate funding is available. Societal, scientific and educational requirements have been the key focus for the Asian investments in space arena.

The evolution of the space shuttle
Acta Astronautica, 1991As the mission manifest develops in response to the needs of the users, new capabilities are being developed for the Shuttle. Other changes are being introduced in order to provide Assured Shuttle Availability (ASA), that is, safe efficient flight operations into the 21st century.

Space Shuttle Orbiter charging
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1982This paper considers the charging of the Space Shuttle Orbiter by energetic particles of environmental origin and from emission by accelerators. The results indicate that precipitating electrons quickly induce large voltages. High voltages may also occur when onboard accelerators inject energetic beams into the high altitude plasma.

Reporting the launch of Discovery for the STS-51C mission in the early afternoon of January 24, 1985, the New York Times said, “The sky was so clear that viewers could still see the speck of light five minutes after lift-off.” But the transparency of the mission was inversely proportional to that of the Earth’s atmospheric shroud.

Simulation and the space shuttle
SIMULATION, 1981One of the current projects in which simulation plays a critical role is the United States space shuttle program. Clearly, simulation is the only way to investigate the feasibility and safety of the multi- billion-dollar space craft program. Its launch, orbit, and re-entry have been analyzed meticulously by an experienced team of engineers, but we ...

Research with the space shuttle
Physics Today, 1973The new space transportation system based on a reusable space shuttle, currently under development, will substantially change our traditional methods of space research that have been based on a ballistic-missile technology and its reliance on expensive expendable components.

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1981 Two decades ago, the space age dawned, and we were awakened to a realm of technological possibilities beyond any we had imagined. Since that time, we have linked continents with communication satellites, sent probes to other planets, and seen men on the moon.
