Mfg. Description: Space Shuttle America has outer orbit style excitement. NASA has developed the concept of a hypersonic transport carrying shuttlecraft to the edge of space where the shuttle leaves the mother ship and heads for an orbiting space station with a cargo of men and materials. The shuttlecraft then can return to earth to make a conventional landing at an airstrip. Cox's Space Shuttle America blasts-off, climbs to altitude, then separates, with the mother ship returning to earth on a parachute and the two shuttlecraft gliding in a circular path to a perfect landing. Complete with modernistic transport, two detailed delta-wing re-entry gliders, engine retainer ring, flameproof ejection wadding, and extra detailing decals. the re-entry gliders are also designed for catapult launching (hand held launcher included).
