Now available: Space Drawing Set 18, containing 22 drawings of the Model 256-20B McDonnell-Douglas/Martin Marietta manned, reusable, flyback Space Shuttle booster from 1971. The Phase B baseline booster was a wing hydrogen/oxygen powered launcher fitted with canards… and fitted within the canards were a multitude of turbofan engines for use in getting back to a landing field for a powered runway landing.
