The 'Space Shuttle' product is a pilot project to determine interest of MS FS community in the Space and orbital aviation subject. If we receive enough positive feedback from the community, the 'Space Shuttle' will turn into a first product of a new 'SPACE' series of MS FSX add-ons.

 The 'Space Shuttle' project consultant is Roman Y. Romanenko
- current Russian pilot-cosmonaut (Space Shuttle trained).
