This is an original print on Kodak paper. Photos in this archive have been well taken care of. Photo Overview. An original 10x8" vintage photo from a very large collection of fascinating and rare original NASA press photographs that originated from a NASA employee in the photo lab or press office at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. A number of the images from this collection appear to be one of a kind or used internally only. This is an original print on Kodak paper. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.Photo Overview This vivid 8x10-inch NASA color photograph (NASA-S-79-2310A) shows a pre-flight Space Shuttle orbiter cutaway used in 1979 engineering briefings to illustrate the “Scope of Payload Accommodations.” The artwork reveals the open payload bay while crisp maroon text lists retention, deploy/retrieval, avionics, heat rejection, control, and crew support systems then being finalized for STS-1. Issued by NASA’s Shuttle Program office, the image captures the excitement of late-1970s design reviews at Johnson Space Center just two years before Columbia’s historic maiden flight.The Shuttle Program was America’s first reusable spacecraft, debuting with STS-1 in April 1981 and ultimately flying 135 missions. Concepts highlighted here—such as the Remote Manipulator System (Canadarm) and dedicated payload coolant loops—became cornerstones of satellite deployment, Hubble servicing, and International Space Station construction. Own a tangible piece of the engineering heritage that ushered in three decades of routine spaceflight—add this original NASA print to your collection today before it disappears into orbit with another buyer.Text Present Front upper left: NASA-S-79-2310A Front center header: SCOPE OF PAYLOAD ACCOMMODATIONS Front right bullet list: • RETENTION SYSTEMS • DEPLOY/RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS • REMOTE MANIPULATION • AVIONICS SERVICES • HARDWIRE & RF • COMMAND & DATA • RECORDING • POWER • HEAT REJECTION • PAYLOAD COOLANT LOOP • DISPLAYS & CONTROLS • MISSION SPECIALIST Condition : In very good to excellent vintage condition.
