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.
