A new industrial revolution... Only two decades after the launching of Explorer I, the first United States venture into space, such visions are no longer a matter of if and how, but of when. NASA's space shuttle, which is scheduled to be operational in the 1980s, will shortly usher in a remarkable new era of space transportation. The advent of the space shuttle heralds quick, easy, and economical access to the near reaches of space. The author clearly explains the fundamental design and operation of the shuttle orbiter, the criteria used in the selection of shuttle-mission candidates, and the various missions the shuttle itself is designed to carry out. He also discusses the shuttle's many direct and indirect benefits, which range from advances in communication, health care, and earth-resources exploration to an increase in productivity and greater international cooperation. L. B. Taylor, Jr., author of Gifts from Space: How Space Technology Is Improving Life on Earth, has provided the young reader with a highly read-able, comprehensive account of the exciting orbital transportation system that will soon become an everyday reality.
