I've been browsing the NTRS looking for pre-flight space shuttle artwork (Don't download anything from the JSC their scanner is blurry.) and I've found a few familiar friends there and one item that really stands out.
It's a picture of the Space Shuttle and the E.S.R.O. Spacelab... It's a picture that puts into full perspective just how long it took to get the shuttles flying and just how long they have been flying. (E.S.R.O became the ESA in 1974) |

I tried searching NTRS to see if I could find of the same, but could find nothing. Could you give me some hints on how to work the search or just share more.
That is and interesting picture for sure, and you are right about how much time and effort it touch. I remember see things about the shuttle when I was in grade school, years before it flew and I'm 44 now. It took alot to develope and test. |
