Research with the space shuttle

- Summary

Abstract

The new space transportation system based on a reusable space shuttle, currently under development, will substantially change our traditional methods of space research that have been based on a ballistic-missile technology and its reliance on expensive expendable components. The shuttle will not become operational until 1979, but the time is ripe now for planning the space-exploration and space-science programs for the period 1978–85.
