This 0.01 scale model of the Space Shuttle ascent configuration is shown installed in the National Transonic Facility at Langley. The solid-body exhaust plume simulators attached to the orbiter and boosters indicated that the plumes have a pronounced effect on wing loads.

The high temperatures which were to be encountered by the Space Shuttle were simulated in the tunnels at Langley in this 1975 test of the thermal insulation materials which were used on the orbiter.

This is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) computer generated Space Shuttle model. CFD has supplanted wind tunnels for many evaluations of aircraft. As computing power increases and computer models become more sophisticated, CFD will largely replace wind tunnels.

A handbook for hopeful Space Shuttle astronauts. The manual is based on NASA designs and actual mission logs of various Space Shuttle missions. This is the 1988 revised edition released after the loss of the Challenger but before the "Return to Flight" STS-26 mission in October of 1988.

The newest addition to the Space Shuttle orbiter fleet, Endeavour, arrives at KSC atop the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft on May 7. OV-105 will be demated from the Boeing aircraft, and towed to the Vehicle Assembly Building for installation of several major flight components. Next step will be a lengthy stay in the Orbiter Processing Facility for a rigorous series of first flow tests. Endeavour is scheduled to lift off on its maiden space flight in 1992.

This illustration was used to develop a 3-D model of the space shuttle Columbia. The model was later used in a video to show where damage occurred on the leading edge of Columbia's wing. Engineers in NASA Glenn's Ballistics Impact Lab performed experiments that helped determine how foam from the external tank had caused the damage. Art by Eric Mindek (RS Information Systems, Inc.)

For conservation biologists, remote regions that have seen little human impact pose a dilemma. Such areas generally have the most intact wildlife, and therefore they are often the target of conservation efforts and research. Yet because they haven't been extensively populated or paved, such areas haven't usually been mapped well, either. Satellite images can help, but in the case of freshwater habitats, satellites have limitations. Most of the water moving over Earth's land surfaces travels in...
