Description

Space Shuttle Columbia is the first book to tell the story of the most successful spacecraft ever developed. The world's first truly reusable spacecraft entered service in 1981, and completed 28 missions before the devastating event of 1 February 2003 when Columbia and her seven-person crew were lost during her return to Earth. Containing many unique photographs from the various missions, Space Shuttle Columbia - Her Missions and Crews is a fitting tribute to both this remarkable machine and those who flew in her.
