Model of an Expendable Booster Space Shuttle, designed by Grumman and Boeing, plastic, metal and decals, 19 inches tall. Comprises a lower booster stage with seven engine ports at the base and two fin-type stabilizers. An upper stage serves as an external fuel tank to supply the attached orbiter's four rocket engines. The orbiter itself is of delta-wing design and has two maneuvering engine pods at the aft end of the fuselage, as well as reaction control engine pods near each wing-tip and atop the vertical stabilizer. All three components are detachable and mounted together by metal pins, standing vertically on a wooden base with a plaque reading: "Grumman/Boeing Space Shuttle." Included with the model is a black and white NASA photograph of Dr. Maxime Faget at his JSC office, holding the present model and demonstrating its flight characteristics.
