ASTRONOMI - WINGS IN SPACE. A LIFE INSIDE NASA'S SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM
by Mariann Albjerg, emeritus NASA

The Space Shuttle was the fundamental technological challenge for NASA. A space craft that launched like a rocket and landed back on Earth on a runway, like an airplane. For more than 30 years the Space Shuttle program was the focus of the US manned space flight. The Shuttle provided a manned platform for Earth and Space exploration as well as micro gravity experiments including studies of the effect on humans in a space environment. The NASA Space Shuttle carried all the major parts for the construction of the International Space Station (ISS) into space. It was the ultimate challenge of international cooperation and in the same time a dream job.
