Space Shuttle Launch System 1972–2004
Description
The Space Shuttle is one of the oldest and most famous manned launch systems – the only launch vehicle used for a longer period of time is the Russian R-7 booster.
By the start of the third millennium, the Space Shuttle had carried crews into space over 85 times. Although not a military structure, the Shuttle had been sold as an all-purpose launch system to be used jointly for military and civilian purposes.
Featuring full-colour photos throughout, this book covers the design, development and operational history of a unique vehicle.
