Shuttler for Spacecraft
This artist’s conception shows how the NASA M2 lifting body research vehiCLe will look to viewers from the B52 ‘mother” ship that will drop it for glide tests. The M2 is being fabricated by Northrop Corp’s Norair Division at Hawthorne, Calif. It’s a forerunner of “shuttle” vehicles expected to supply orbiting manned spacecraft.

I’m really excited to be able to share this. Mike Acs and I purchased some concept art pieces from a dealer in Nevada that are in really good shape. There’ll be more, and I’ll post links to the original scans on Mike’s Flickr when he has a chance to upload them. Enjoy!
