Space Shuttle: A Photographic Journey 1981-2011

摘要

The Shuttle era is now receding into history. It is nearly five years since the last mission, when STS-135 Atlantis brought the programme to a close with an emotional pre-dawn touchdown at Kennedy Space Center. The five orbiters, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour, travelled 882 million kilometres (548 million miles) during a cumulative 1,323 days in space.
