Description
The Space Shuttle Orbiter formally started on January 5, 1972 by Richard
Nixion. The first orbiters were manufactured by Rocwell International
and then later by Boeing. The space Shuttle Orbiter was designed to
replace the expendable launch vehicles that NASA was using to deliver
commercial, scientific and applications spacecraft into Earth's orbit.
The
Orbiter's main engines and boosters combined allows the orbiter to
reach orbit. The orbiter comprises of three primary elements, the first
element, a delta-winged orbiter spacecraft having large crew
compartment, cargo bay and three main engines, second is its two solid
rocket boosters and the third, is an external fuel tank which houses the
liquid hydrogen and oxidizer burned in the main engines.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as
the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our
skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and
history buff!
