Air & Space is publishing a 100-page magazine about the shuttle history. Couldn't find it on their website so it may be offered (at least for now) only to subscribers to Air & Space (info received by email). |

Are these previously published articles from the Smithsonian Air & Space magazine? |

The magazine is mainly a collection of articles about the shuttle and its accompanying component parts i.e. SRBs and ET. There is also a whole collection of memories from various astronauts. It's a good magazine and worth getting hold of. |

I purchased this commemorative magazine when it first came out and purchased one last year as well. Both issues had different photos of the shuttle on the cover as does the 2014 offering by the Smithsonian. Are the articles the same in this latest issue or are there different ones? |
