Description
The stories behind NASA’s 140 Space Shuttle program flights, as told through each mission’s most exceptional image, curated by celebrated space photographer Roland Miller.
“‘Sumptuous’ is an adjective too often used to describe beautifully produced books, so, though that word does in fact describe The Space Shuttle, let’s instead call it ‘stellar. . . .’ [T]he reader leaves this book with a deep sense of awe about the program itself and what it accomplished in helping us to better understand what is above us.”

Roland Miller, a Chicago native, worked in higher education for 30 years, first as a photography professor and later as dean. Miller’s book Abandoned in Place: Preserving America’s Space History documents deactivated space launch and test facilities around the United States. Miller’s collaborative project and book with Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, Interior Space: A Visual Exploration of the International Space Station, documents the interior of the International Space Station. Miller’s photographs are in numerous permanent collections, including those of the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago and the NASA Art Collection in Washington, DC. Miller’s photographs have been exhibited in major art and science museums, including the Galleria del Cembalo in Rome, Italy. His work has been featured in major publications, including the New York Times and National Geographic UK.
