Wings In Orbit
A new, authentic and authoritative book written by the people of the Space Shuttle Program
• Description of the Shuttle and its operations• Engineering innovations• Major scientific discoveries• Social, cultural, and educational legacies• Commercial developments• The Shuttle continuum, role of human spaceflight
Vision
Overall vision for the book:
The “so what” factor?Our vision is to “inform” the American people about the accomplishments of the Space Shuttle and to “empower” them with the knowledge about the longest-operating human spaceflight program and make them feel “proud” about nation’s investment in science and technology that led to Space Shuttle Program accomplishments.
Vision (continued)
Focus:• Science and Engineering accomplishments
(not history or hardware or mission activities or crew activities) • Audience: American public with interest in science and technology
(e.g., Scientific American Readership: a chemical engineer, a science teacher, a physician, etc.)
Definition of Accomplishment:• Space Shuttle Program accomplishments are those “technical results,
developments, and innovations that will shape future space programs” or “have affected the direction of science or engineering” with a focus on unique contributions from the shuttle as a platform.
Guiding Principles:• Honest• Technically correct• Capture the passion of the NASA team that worked on the program
