How to Chase a Space Shuttle to Earth

Go behind the scenes of one of NASA’s most demanding aviation missions with astronaut and pilot DR. CHARLES JUSTIZ. Learn how specially equipped aircraft raced across the skies to intercept returning Space Shuttles as they descended from orbit at incredible speeds. This fascinating presentation explores the precision flying, split-second timing, and extraordinary teamwork required to safely monitor every Shuttle landing. A rare opportunity to experience the excitement of America’s Space Shuttle Program through the eyes of someone who was there.
