★收录6 个轨道飞行器、140 次任务、355 名宇航员、5 亿英里的宏伟照片——一切尽在一场丰富而美丽的摄影之旅中

《航天飞机》以独特设计和令人垂涎的方式讲述了 NASA 令人惊叹的航天飞机计划及其 140 次太空飞行（135 次任务，加上 5 次进近和着陆测试）的故事。 早在詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜重新点燃我们对天文学和我们在宇宙中的地位的迷恋之前，航天飞机就通过 1981 年 4 月 12 日的任务（试射）开始吸引全世界的关注，并一直如此，直到其z后一次任务2011 年 7 月 8 日。该计划的六架轨道飞行器是企业号、哥伦比亚号、挑战者号、发现号、亚特兰蒂斯号和奋进号。

每个任务都有自己引人入胜的故事，航天飞机通过美国宇航局摄影记者、美术摄影师和宇航员本人拍摄的令人难以置信的照片，按时间顺序重述这些故事。 每张图片都附有一段简短的文字，其中包括机组成员、发射日期和着陆日期等简要信息，以及对亮点和目的的简短概述。 例如，STS-78的任务是研究太空中的昼夜节律； STS-41G 的任务是在飞行中拍摄 IMAX 电影《梦想还活着》中的照片； 知名的是，宇航员布鲁斯·麦坎德利斯 (Bruce McCandless) 在 STS-41B 上使用自行式背包装置（称为载人机动装置 [MMU]）进行了不受束缚的太空行走，使宇航员能够捕获卫星以进行回收和维修以及计划的建造也就是后来的国际空间站（ISS）。 在这次任务之前，宇航员用安全绳固定在航天飞机上。 麦坎德利斯漂浮在地球表面上空的照片是有史以来知名的太空照片之一。 这些只是米勒在这本精美的书中讲述的 140 个故事中的一小部分。

A Barnes & Noble Best Gift Book of 2022

A Publishers Weekly Holiday Gift Guide 2022 selection

6 orbiters, 140 missions, 355 astronauts, 500,000,000 miles—all in one rich and beautiful photographic journey

The Space Shuttle tells the story of NASA’s amazing Space Shuttle program and its 140 space flights (135 missions, plus five Approach and Landing Tests) in a uniquely designed and covetable way. Long before the James Webb Telescope rekindled our fascination with astronomy and our place in the cosmos, the Space Shuttle began to capture the world’s attention with its first mission (a test launch) on April 12, 1981 and continued to do so until its final mission on July 8, 2011. The program’s six orbiter vehicles are Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.

Each mission has its own fascinating story, and The Space Shuttle retells these stories, in chronological order, through incredible photos taken by NASA photojournalists, fine art photographers, and the astronauts themselves. Each image is accompanied by a short text that includes quick facts such as crew members, launch date, and landing date, as well as a short overview of highlights and purpose. For example, STS-78’s mission was to study circadian rhythms in space; STS-41G’s mission was to take photographs in-flight, seen in the IMAX movie The Dream Is Alive; and famously, the first untethered space walk, taken by astronaut Bruce McCandless on STS-41B using a self-propelled backpack unit (called a Man Maneuvering Unit [MMU]), allowed astronauts to capture satellites for retrieval and repair and for the planned construction of what became the International Space Station (ISS). Prior to this mission, astronauts were attached to the shuttle with safety lines. The photo of McCandless floating above Earth’s surface is one of the most celebrated and famous space photographs ever. These are just a few of the 140 stories Miller tells in this beautiful volume.
