One 12.5 in. Quad Scotch Hi-Band, 15 IPS, Colour Video Reel, with 10:56 minutes of running time, repeating 5 times the 2.11 sequence, labeled 400.2 x 4950; [together with] DVD copied from the Quad Video tape. First edition, thus, of this exceedingly scarce GSFC TV video used for exhibit purposes of the final free flight test No. 5 for the Space Shuttle Enterprise Oct. 26, 1977. There were actually 16 tests in all, including original Taxi Tests while attached to the SCA, Captive-Inert Flight Tests, and then the final 8 tests which included astronaut crews. This final free flight featured Commander Fred Haise, and Pilot C. Gordon Fullerton, and was the final of two flights which featured the Enterprise without the attached tail cone removed so it flew and landed in its operational configuration with dummy main engines, and OMS pods. Enterprise was built originally without engines or heat shield, so it was actually first displayed at the Kennedy Space Center, tested in launch configuration, and would later tour France, West Germany, Italy, the Uk, and Canada, even the Louisiana World Exposition in 1984. Although originally intended to be retrofitted for flight after the first operational orbiter Columbia, so many design changes had taken place, retrofitting was cost prohibitive. No copies in Worldcat; See: Henry C. Dethloff, Space Transportation System, Historical Context, Space Shuttle Program and the International Space Station, Chapter 12, pp. 14-30.…

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG.
