What are the mass, height, and width of the shuttle? Also what ranges of mass and dimension do today's operating rockets other than the shuttle have? Thanks, Ron Sayer

A lot of good information on the shuttle may be obtained from the Spacelink portion of the SPACE archive on ames.arc.nasa.gov. From the Internet, use anonymous ftp and go to pub/SPACE. Get file Spacelink.index for a list of files. From all other systems, send a message with a subject of "help" to archive-server@ames.arc.nasa.gov (or ames!archive-server). The archive server will explain how to retrieve files through the mail. -Peter Yee yee@ames.arc.nasa.gov ames!yee
