  • A technical manual about NASA's Space Shuttle.

    It's the amazing story of the concept, designs, construction and use of one of the best spaceships ever built. There are plenty of detailed drawings of the inner workings and excellent photos of the orbiter in space. The text can be a bit acronym heavy in places (there's a glossary in the back), but it is well written by an expert who worked with NASA.
