America’s Space Shuttle : NASA Document Superset – Flight Checklists, Handbooks, Launch Commit Criteria, Internal Operational Books

This incredible electronic book on two CD-ROMs presents an amazing collection of over 25,000 pages of NASA documents about the Space Shuttle. (That’s the equivalent of nearly 300 pounds of standard office paper!) Many of the internal NASA documents in the collection have been made available for the first time by World Spaceflight News. Among the 100 documents in the WSN “superset” collection: 23 Flight Data File Crew Checklists (everything from the Ascent Checklist to the Entry Checklist); 10 JSC Flight Procedures Handbooks (which provide the rationale for the procedures used during flight and included in the FDF); 15 Critical Items List, Hazard Analysis, and safety documents; four of the major volumes of the Shuttle Countdown; the complete Launch Commit Criteria (LCC); All-flights Operational Flight Rules; Shuttle Operational Data Book; ten SFOC JSC Handbooks and Manuals; and the recently issued KSC hurricane threat assessment report which provides unique information about KSC shuttle facilities.. This collection, which takes up over 1.2 gigabytes (GB) of storage on two CD-ROMs, is an unbelievable treasure-trove of facts and figures about the Shuttle! Please see the Table of Contents section for a full list of documents. The documents are reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software – allowing direct viewing on Windows 95/98/ME, Windows 3.1, NT, and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD.
