N. Wayne Hale Helen Lane Executive Editor Chief Editor Kamlesh Lulla Gail Chapline Editor Editor
An agency-wide Space Shuttle book project involving contributions from all NASA centers
Space Shuttle book: September 2010 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 Editorial Board
