Inspiration
From Spacefaring
Space Shuttle Inspiration is a full-scale mockup of a Space Shuttle orbiter built in 1972 by North American Rockwell to support the development and approval of the Space Shuttle program. Constructed to match the general dimensions of actual orbiters, the mockup was used to demonstrate the shuttle concept to NASA and the United States Congress, and to assist in early design work.
