Beschreibung

Huntsville, NASA, 1970. 1 glossy black and white photograph (ca 254 x 203 mm) with black photocopied text on reverse. NASA Nr MSFC-70-PD-4090. ?Repairing a satellite in earth orbit would be relatively simple using a space tug, as illustrated in this artist?s concept. The satellite would be secured to an extension above the crew module and an astronaut could exit easily to work with on the spacecraft? (Text on reverse of photo.) The space tug was part of NASA?s Space Transportation System, first envisioned in 1969. The system also included an earth-to-orbit shuttle, a nuclear ferry and a space station module. Due to cutbacks in NASA?s budget in the early 1970s, only the Space Shuttle emerged from the program.
