Book excerpt: The Space Shuttle is an engineering marvel perhaps only exceeded by the station itself. The shuttle was based on the technology of the 1960s and early 1970s. It had to overcome significant challenges to make it reusable. Perhaps the greatest challenges were the main engines and the Thermal Protection System. The program has seen terrible tragedy in its 3 decades of operation, yet it has also seen marvelous success. One of the most notable successes is the Hubble Space Telescope, a program that would have been a failure without the shuttle's capability to rendezvous, capture, repair, as well as upgrade. Now Hubble is a shining example of success admired by people around the world. As the program comes to a close, it is important to capture the legacy of the shuttle for future generations. That is what "Wings In Orbit" does for space fans, students, engineers, and scientists. This book, written by the men and women who made the program possible, will serve as an excellent reference for building future space vehicles. We are proud to have played a small part in making it happen. Our journey to document the scientific and engineering accomplishments of this magnificent winged vehicle began with an audacious proposal: to capture the passion of those who devoted their energies to its success while answering the question "What are the most significant accomplishments?" of the longest operating human spaceflight program in our nation's history. This is intended to be an honest, accurate, and easily understandable account of the research and innovation accomplished during the era.

Book excerpt: It is an honor to be invited to write the introduction for this tribute to the Space Shuttle, yet the invitation presents quite an emotional challenge. In many ways, I lament the coming of the end of a great era in human spaceflight. The shuttle has been a crown jewel in NASA's human spaceflight program for over 3 decades. This spectacular flying machine has served as a symbol of our nation's prowess in science and technology as well as a demonstration of our "can-do" attitude. As we face the fleet's retirement, it is appropriate to reflect on its accomplishments and celebrate its contributions. The Space Shuttle Program was a major leap forward in our quest for space exploration. It prepared us for our next steps with a fully operational International Space Station and has set the stage for journeys to deep-space destinations such as asteroids and, eventually, Mars. Our desire to explore more of our solar system is ambitious and risky, but its rewards for all humanity are worth the risks. We, as a nation and a global community, are on the threshold of taking an even greater leap toward that goal.
