Considerable progress has been made in designing the Space Shuttle orbiter and defining its subsystems since the development contract was awarded by NASA to Rockwell International in August 1972. This paper describes the orbiter's current design characteristics and its major assemblies. The aerothermodynamic and other considerations involved in defining the configuration are discussed, and the orbiter flight characteristics are summarized. Arrangement of the crew cabin, crew provisions, accommodations for payloads, and descriptions of the major subsystems are presented, providing design highlights of interest to space mission planners and to the aerospace technical community.
