We are pleased to announce the electronic publication of a new NASA History Series publication, NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center’s Contributions to the Space Shuttle Program (NASA SP-4322).  Edited by Christian Gelzer, this book is divided into three thematic sections (development, operations, and troubleshooting).  The 16 chapters cover specific topics such as lifting bodies and low lift-to-drag ratio research, thermal protection systems, landings at Edwards Air Force Base, and the Lifting Insulating Foam Trajectory Project (LIFT).  This book is available for free download. 

 

Please feel free to forward to others who may be interested.  Thanks for your interest in NASA History!
