Completing 22 major missions and contributing to many other NASA goals, Spacelab stands as one of the Shuttle program's most resounding successes. The system comprised multiple components, including a pressurized laboratory module, unpressurized carrier pallets and other related hardware, all housed in the Shuttle's Payload Bay and crew compartment. But how did all those varied components actually come together? The answer is the little-known "Level-IV"-- a team of managers and engineers who molded separate elements of hardware into cohesive and safe payloads. Without the dedication and drive of the Level-IV team, the huge successes of the Spacelab missions would not have been achieved. This is their story. You will learn herein how Level-IV was formed, who was involved, and the accomplishments, setbacks and problems faced along the way, in a story that blends both the professional and personal sides of Level-IV operations and its legacy. Upon reading this book, you will gain a new appreciation for this crucial team and understand what is meant when you hear the term "Level-IV" 001443840 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 31, 2022). 001443840 61020 $$aSpacelab Program$$xHistory. 001443840 650_0 $$aAstronautical laboratories$$xHistory. 001443840 650_0 $$aSpace shuttles$$xPayloads$$xHistory. 001443840 650_6 $$aAstronautique$$xLaboratoires$$xHistoire. 001443840 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001443840 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001443840 7001_ $$aShayler, David,$$d1955-$$eauthor. 001443840 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030867749$$z9783030867744$$w(OCoLC)1263864684 001443840 830_0 $$aSpringer-Praxis books in space exploration.$$x2731-541X 001443840 852__ $$bebk 001443840 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-86775-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001443840 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1443840$$pGLOBAL_SET 001443840 980__ $$aBIB 001443840 980__ $$aEBOOK 001443840 982__ $$aEbook 001443840 983__ $$aOnline 001443840 994__ $$a92$$bISE
