The story is by no means complete, but it has to stop somewhere". - from the introduction.

1981-1999 Space Shuttle Mission Chronology
John F Kennedy Space Center: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2000. Presumed First Edition First printing. Staplebound. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 63 5 pages includes covers. Illustrated front cover. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 11 inches. Illustrations. This includes information on STS-1 through STS 103 from 1981 to 1999. Not all numbers were reported on. The write-ups include mission highlights EVAs Launch and Landing. This includes information on John Glenn's return to space and the first flight to the International Space Station. The International Space Station ISS is the largest modular space station in low Earth orbit. The project involves five space agencies: the United States' NASA Russia's Roscosmos Japan's JAXA Europe's ESA and Canada's CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements. The station serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific research is conducted in astrobiology astronomy meteorology physics and other fields. The ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment required for possible future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System STS taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft where it was the only item funded for development. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981 leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011 launched from the Kennedy Space Center KSC in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites interplanetary probes and the Hubble Space Telescope HST conducted science experiments in orbit participated in the Shuttle-Mir program with Russia and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station ISS. The Space Shuttle fleet's total mission time was 1322 days 19 hours 21 minutes and 23 seconds. Space Shuttle components include the Orbiter Vehicle OV with three clustered Rocketdyne RS-25 main engines a pair of recoverable solid rocket boosters SRBs and the expendable external tank ET containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Space Shuttle was launched vertically like a conventional rocket with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the orbiter's three main engines which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit while the main engines continued to operate and the ET was jettisoned after main engine cutoff and just before orbit insertion which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System OMS engines. At the conclusion of the mission the orbiter fired its OMS to deorbit and reenter the atmosphere. The orbiter was protected during reentry by its thermal protection system tiles and it glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC Florida or to Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base California. If the landing occurred at Edwards the orbiter was flown back to the KSC atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft a specially modified Boeing 747. The first orbiter Enterprise was built in 1976 and used in Approach and Landing Tests but had no orbital capability. Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia Challenger Discovery and Atlantis. Of these two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003 with a total of 14 astronauts killed. A fifth operational and sixth in total orbiter Endeavour was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service following Atlantis's final flight on July 21 2011.

2006 Near-Earth Object Survey and Deflection Study; NP-2007-020460-HQ
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2007. Final Report--Presumed first edition first printing. Wraps. Very good. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 272 pages. Illustrated front and back cover. Illustrations mostly in color. Definition of Terms. References. Appendices. Minor cover wear noted. NASA letter of appreciation to a senior National Nuclear Security Administration technical expert for support to this report. In the 2005 Budget Authorization Act the U.S. Congress directed the NASA Administrator to provide an analysis of alternatives to detect track catalogue and characterize potentially hazardous near-Earth objects NEO. Congress required that the Administrator submit a program by December 28 2006 to survey 90% of the potentially hazardous objects measuring at least 140 meters in diameter by the end of 2020. In addition the legislation required the Administrator to submit an analysis of alternatives that NASA could employ to divert an object on a likely collision course with Earth. A study team led by the Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation PA&E derived requirements and figures of merit from the Act and used these factors to evaluate the alternatives. The team developed a range of options from public and private sources and then analyzed their capabilities levels of performance life-cycle costs schedules and development and operations risks. This document presents the detailed results of these analyses. A summary report was submitted to Congress in December of 2006. During related Congressional testimony on this report it was stated that The report's basic conclusion is that ``NASA recommends that the program continue as currently planned and we will also take advantage of opportunities using potential dual-use telescopes and spacecraft--and partner with other agencies as feasible--to attempt to achieve the legislated goal within 15 years. However due to current budget constraints NASA cannot initiate a new program at this time.'' In addition the report contained a number of additional findings <br /> including: ``The goal of the Survey Program should be modified to detect track catalogue and characterize by the end of 2020 90 percent of all Potentially Hazardous Objects PHOs greater than 140m whose orbits pass within 0.05 AU of the Earth's orbit as opposed to surveying for all NEOs; The Agency could achieve the specified goal of surveying for 90 percent of the potentially hazardous NEOs by the end of 2020 by partnering with other government agencies on potential future optical ground-based observatories and building a dedicated NEO survey asset assuming the partners' potential ground assets come online by 2010 and 2014 and a dedicated asset by 2015; Together the two observatories potentially to be developed by other government agencies could complete 83 percent of the survey by 2020 if observing time at these observatories is shared with NASA's NEO Survey Program; New space-based infrared systems combined with ground-based assets could reduce the overall time to reach the 90 percent goal by at least three years. Space systems have additional benefits as well as costs and risks compared to ground-based alternatives; Radar systems cannot contribute to the search for potentially hazardous objects but may be used to rapidly refine tracking and to determine object sizes for a few NEOs of potentially high interest. Existing radar systems are currently oversubscribed by other missions. Determining a NEO's mass and orbit is required to determine whether it represents a potential threat and to provide required information for most alternatives to mitigate such a threat. Beyond these parameters characterization requirements and capabilities are tied directly to the mitigation strategy selected.''. National Aeronautics and Space Administration paperback
