Hughes designed geosynchronous satellite optimised to study mesoscale phenomena such as tornados, squall lines and large convective systems. Had the satellite been built, the launch vehicle would have either been a Delta rocket or the Space Shuttle. Severe Storms Observing Satellite...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBI1-lS7rmU "This December 1969 film looks at the candidate space shuttle orbiters using M=20 electron beam flow studies. This gives an interesting look at some of the proposed designs. The only tunnels at NASA Langley Research Center reaching that speed are in...

Matej, the link to your web doesn't works for me (I have even tried from a Windows PC) :( So I add drawings courtesy from Lark

I am interested in exterior and interior shots of the Downey shuttle facility and any images of the buildings/infrastructure used for the shuttle in Palmdale. I will post what few images I have found so far: Downey

Of mild interest to those of us in the UK is that Space Cargo modified C-5C 80216 arrived at Mildenhall yesterday. The aircraft (along with 80213) has been subject to a degree of interest over the years in connection with various projects, alleged Boscombe Down debris retrieval etc and rarely...

Does anyone have specifications of the North American Rockwell/General Dynamics Phase B Shuttle (1970)? Any additional concept art and drawings would be appreciated as well. http://web.archive.org/web/20070609091323/www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/SpaceLVs/Slides/sld029.htm

Anyone have information about the late 1960s space tug? This was supposed to launched into LEO by the space shuttle and then hitch a ride on the NERVA-powered nuclear shuttle?

Does anyone know anything about these space shuttle designs? The images come from the Altair VI blog site and the author mentioned something about the Solar Power Station. Was the Solar Power Station the idea of having solar cells in space and then microwaving down the electricity? Anyone know...
