The Space Shuttle Encyclopedia CDROM
March 1995
Materials Collected by Thomas Shaffer
Produced for Walnut Creek CDROM
Walnut Creek CDROM and Thomas Shaffer are proud to present The Space
Shuttle Encyclopedia CDROM.
This CDROM was designed with education in mind. My hopes for the
CDROM are to provide those in the educational field easier access to
Space Shuttle material. I would like to hear from anyone that has
used this CDROM in a educational environment and how it benefited you.
This CDROM was not only developed with education in mind, but also the
frustration I faced while searching for materials pertaining to the
Space Shuttle. For anyone that is interested in the Space Shuttle or
those just interested in the space program you will find that this CDROM
provides a great wealth of information.
This CDROM contains:
3132 JPG files (640x480-256 Colors)
1900 Text Files (Both in plan ASCII text format and ZIP)
25+ Sounds Clips (WAV Format)
Assorted Shuttle related MSDOS Applications
Assorted Graphic Viewing Programs
All images & text files are directly from NASA public archives sites
such as: spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov, explorer.arc.nasa.gov,
images.jsc.nasa.gov, and gopher.gsfc.nasa.gov.
Each shuttle mission from STS-1 to STS-68 is represented with its own
mission image directory. Each directory contains a catalog of JPG's.
Each JPG catalog file is labeled cat_*.JPG and contains up to 16
thumb nail images from that directory.
Other categories on the disc include the 747 Shuttle Ferry, flight
deck instrumentation panels, space shuttle main engines, and related
images.
All directories contain files.bbs, 00_index.txt, descript.ion &
wildcat.txt files to make the CDROM BBS ready. See \_bbs\readme.txt
for more information.
