  In the late 70's, GDC particpated in NASA's Space Shuttle studies. Shown here are GDC's orbiter and flyback booster concepts. GDC teamed with Rockwell in the Phase B Shuttle studies.GDC's flyback booster was eliminated by NASA in favor of solid rocket booster and Rockwell developed the Shuttle orbiter, along with being the System Integrator. GDC did build the orbiter mid-fuselage structure. Jerry Butsko

  Missing tiles on Space Shuttle Columbia's (OV-102) starboard Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) pod, discovered during the first shuttle flight (STS-1), flown by astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen (April 12-14, 1981.) The tiles were discovered to have been shaken loose/off by the acoustic energy at the launch pad during launch. Since the missing tiles were located in a non-critical area, it was determined (correctly) that their absence would pose minimal risk for Columbia's re-entry and landing.
