Shuttle status report.

Abstract

The Space Shuttle Program is still in Phase B, a phase consisting predominantly of paper analyses and trade studies leading to the selection of a single design. A brief history of the program up to Phase B is discussed together with the results of the original year-long Phase B effort, and the objectives of the Phase B extension currently in work. A Lockheed study is discussed together with a Grumman/Boeing study, Phase B contractor results, displays and controls, simulations, and the flight test.
