| The SpaceDisc archives were assembled in the 1980s, and published on laser videodisc in a series of eight volumes. At the time, SpaceDisc provided educators and the public with unprecedented access to a vast visual record of space exploration and astronomy. 35 years later, SpaceDisc still stands as an unrivaled record of the Golden Age of Space Exploration. After being out of print for 15 years, SpaceDisc is being re-released as ebooks. SpaceDisc 2 | Shuttle Goes To Work features more than 1,800 photos and to hours of video highlights from the Space Shuttle's first seven operational missions. Key events during these missions include the first satellite deployment, the first night launch and landing, the first U.S. woman in space, the first flight of SpaceLab, the first Shuttle-era spacewalk, and the spectacular, on-orbit capture and repair of Solar Max. The story of the Shuttle’s development and testing is told in SpaceDisc 1 | Shuttle Takes Flight. The two volumes together constitute the most comprehensive collection of images from the first 11 shuttle missions presently available, a must-have for aerospace professionals and space enthusiasts alike. |
