	KSC Fact Sheet "NASA's Orbiter Fleet"
		Authorization to construct the fifth Space Shuttle orbiter as a replacement for Challenger was granted by Congress on August 1, 1987.
		Following extensive testing and verification of all electrical and mechanical interfaces, the orbiter is transferred to the nearby Vehicle Assembly Building where it is mated to the external tank with attached solid rocket boosters.
		Then, the assembled Space Shuttle vehicle is carried to the launch pad by a large tracked vehicle called the crawler-transporter.

	Space Shuttle program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Internally the Shuttle remains largely similar to the original design, with the exception that the avionics continue to be improved.
		The Space Shuttle consists of three main components: the reusable Orbiter itself, a large, brown, expendable external fuel tank, and a pair of white, reusable solid-fuel booster rockets.
		While the Shuttle has been a reasonably successful launch vehicle, it has been unable to meet its goal of radically reducing flight launch costs, as the average launch expenditures during its operations up to 2005 accumulates to $1.3 billion [3], a rather large figure compared to the initial projections of $10 to $20 million.

		Shuttle Services may be provided during periods of unusually high demand, during Special Events and as an overflow Parking Solution.
		Some Shuttles, such as paratransit service for people with disabilities, cause little or no reduction in automobile travel, their benefits consist primarily of improved mobility for people who are transportation disadvantaged.
		Shuttle Services should be considered when planning events or centers that will generate heavy traffic, and as a way to deal with transportation problems during special times or events.

		The Space Shuttle is a reusable rocket-launched vehicle designed to transport people and cargo between Earth and orbiting spacecraft, and then to return to the Earth's surface by gliding down and landing on a runway.
		The Shuttle was selected in the early 1970s as the principal space launcher and carrier vehicle to be developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
		An assembled Space Shuttle is approximately 184 feet (56 meters) long, 76 feet (23 meters) high to the tip of the orbiter’s vertical tail, and 78 feet (24 meters) wide, measuring across the orbiter’s wingtips.

		Shuttle program manager Ronald Dittemore told reporters Wednesday they were, in effect, mistaken if they assumed from previous briefings the Columbia disaster investigation was focused primarily on the possibility foam debris from the ship's external tank triggered the orbiter's destruction during entry Saturday.
		Engineers studying data from the shuttle Columbia before it broke apart Saturday say temperature readings in the ship's left-side landing gear wheel well may be indicating a catastrophic "burn through" in a different part of the wing, not the wheel well itself.
		NASA engineers are studying telemetry from the shuttle that indicates a sudden increase in temperature inside the left wing's main landing gear wheel well in the moments before the shuttle's destruction.

	NASA/MSFC/ESSD - Shuttle Lightning Observations (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After this series of Shuttle flights we began to use the payload bay low light level cameras whenever the crewmembers were not using them as part of their normal operations and again some interesting lightning video was collected.
		The data obtained from a number of these Shuttle flights has provided design criteria data that has been incorporated in the design of future sensors for lightning detection and location satellites to be flown in the late 1990's.
		Since the location of the Shuttle is known from it's orbit and due to the low light level sensitivity of the payload bay TV cameras, the star fields and the airglow of the earth can be observed and it is possible to determine the size of the lightning flashes as they are seen.
