The Space Shuttle prototype Enterprise rises from NASA's 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to begin a powerless glide flight back to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, on its fourth of the five free flights in the shuttle program's Approach and Landing Tests (ALT), 12 October 1977. The tests were carried out at Dryden to verify the aerodynamic and control characteristics of the orbiters in preparation for the first space mission with the orbiter Columbia in April 1981.

We are watching closely as more and more space science documents are disappearing from the US gov websites. If you need a website to make them available for free to the public and STEM, get in touch with us at [email protected]

We are based in Europe and we can archive them for free.

NASA (and LPI/USRA) is deleting public *community created* science documents from *non NASA* websites.

These documents are often created using a combination of tax-payer funding and the volunteered time of scientists/engineers. (Mostly the latter)
