The flight should be the sixth test of the shuttle; the first five trips were all by the shuttle vehicle, Columbia.

"If he was outside the ship, in one of the little rocket sleds, he could get to the shuttle vehicle."

When this occurred, it was 19th and final time in Shuttle Program history that two shuttle vehicles occupied both KSC launch pads at the same time.

The shuttle vehicle has two RSSs, one in each SRB.

The RSS is used only when the shuttle vehicle violates a launch trajectory red line.

I opened a stall and examined the shuttle vehicle inside.

That wasn't from any hard landings-unless someone was being awfully careless with shuttle vehicles.

The imbalance to the shuttle vehicle was calculated to be 76,000 pounds; the maximum allowed was 85,000 pounds.

They arrived in small shuttle vehicles that carried no more than twenty people at a time.

At that moment a shuttle vehicle, similar in shape to the one that had brought them to the Node thirteen months before, was approaching the Habitation Module transportation center.
