This 48-page publication is a combination of material left over after updating the SIM 1.1 Primer and the SIM 3.1 Space Shuttle books, articles recycled from my IPMS Journal columns from the 1980s and early 1990s, and some new material from me and a few of my space modeling associates.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a mix of detailed build articles (e.g., the STS-41C Solar Max repair mission), background material on what potentially could be an interesting build (e.g., the STS-41D Solar Array Flight Experiment), and a few concepts that were made into kits but never actually flew (e.g., Biomedical Experiments Scientific Satellite, aka BESS). This book has 48 pages including the cover and table of contents, with 130 color photos and detailed illustrations.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the table of contents from the book:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Table of Space Shuttle Missions<\/li>\n<li>Tracking and Data Relay Satellite &#8211; TDRS<\/li>\n<li>Better Shuttle Astronauts<\/li>\n<li>Spacelab<\/li>\n<li>Buck Rogers of the 20th Century<\/li>\n<li>Shuttle EVA Tools<\/li>\n<li>Building the Solar Max Repair Mission<\/li>\n<li>Long Duration Exposure Facility &#8211; LDEF<\/li>\n<li>OAST-1 Solar Array Flight Experiment<\/li>\n<li>Magellan Venus Orbiter<\/li>\n<li>Hubble Space Telescope<\/li>\n<li>HST Servicing Missions<\/li>\n<li>EASE \/ ACCESS<\/li>\n<li>Power Satellites<\/li>\n<li>Biomedical Experiments Scientific Satellite: BESS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/spaceinminiature.com\/ref\/ref.html\">SIM Tech Reports<\/a> cover topics that are too short or too narrow in subject matter for full length printed books.
