Description
In April, 2003, a company called Scaled Composites introduced SpaceShipOne to the world. SpaceShipOne chronicles the development of the world's first commercial manned space program-a program that includes an airborne launcher (the White Knight), a space ship (SpaceShipOne), rocket propulsion, avionics, simulator, and full ground support. With ample illustrations, photographs, and behind-the-scenes information, SpaceShipOne provides a full picture of this classified project.
