Original North American Rockwell Shuttle delta wing design, 1969: fully reusable, with a flyback crewed booster Maxime Faget's DC-3 concept employed conventional straight wings. During the early shuttle studies, there was a debate over the optimal shuttle design that best-balanced capability, development cost, and operational cost.
The STS-88 Space Shuttle mission followed two weeks after Zarya was launched, bringing Unity, the first of three node modules, and connecting it to Zarya. This bare 2-module core of the ISS remained uncrewed for the next one and a half years, until in July 2000 the Russian module Zvezda was launched by a Proton rocket, allowing a maximum crew ...
