... use other parts for its new vehicles. One of the solid rocket boosters of the Shuttle system, for example, may become the main part of a new system. NASA may create a new capsule, a larger modern version of the Apollo capsule, and send it to orbit on top of one solid rocket booster. NASA also wants to try something ...

... left for the Army was artillery. vi While Canada's space program was now following the conventions already laid down by the Soviets and the Americans, at least one engineer had more ambitious plans for Canada and was willing to take advantage of the US Army's recent deprivation.

... above engines are able to meet all the necessary criteria for an SSTO propulsion system simultaneously. However by selecting appropriate features from each it is possible to synthesise a new class of engines which are specifically optimised for the SSTO role. The resulting engines employ precooling of the airstream and a high internal pressure ratio to ...

... the name of DeHavilland's Guided Missile Division became anathema to the political climate so the name was changed at Downsview to the Special Projects Division. This small unit of engineers and scientists at Downsview represented the first seed of what would later become Canada's preeminent center of aerospace engineering. xvi 100 Years of Aerospace History in Canada: From ...
