Mission
Information |
 |
| The
space shuttle program was born of a need to
reduce the costs of putting people into
space. The solution: a reusable craft. This
simple idea has lead to complex issues of
materials and aerospace dynamics. The early
shuttle program was characterized by public
scrutiny and a focus on flaws in getting the
shuttle craft to behave as desired. |
