SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH LOG, with Launch Photos, CREW Photos and Patches and all the details you will need
This Launch Log is in the order of the Launch Dates From the First STS to the Last STS.
The Only Copyright is NASA even if I fixed the Photos and that I put all this together it is FREEWARE as far as I am concern, but to use any of the photos and Patched you must contact NASA to ask about their Copyright permissions. Of course they can not be printed in books, magazines or news papers or used in any other manners to make profit from them without NASA's written permission. They are here for your enjoyment ONLY and for your research about their history and facts.
Please note that I found that there is some discrepencies about some dates in Wiki, so double check with the NASA dates to be sure.
OA means = Orbit Altitude and it is in Nautical Miles. If you see av after the number, it means Average Altitude
ENJOY.........Ghislain.
