Designed between 1969 and 1972 and first flown into space in
1981, the NASA Shuttle will have flown almost 140 missions by the
time it is retired in 2010. David Baker describes the origin of the
reusable launch vehicle concept during the 1960s, its evolution
into a viable flying machine in the early 1970s, and its subsequent
design, engineering, construction and operation. The Shuttle's
internal layout and systems are explained, including the operation
of life support, electrical power production, cooling, propulsion,
flight control, communications, land and avionics systems.
