Nixon Approves Space Shuttle Project for 1980 Use
President Nixon approved development of a 5.5 billion space shuttle program intended to carry four astronauts, perform orbital missions up to 30 days, then land like a plane. The craft would reuse flights, with NASA estimating under 10 million dollars per shuttle flight, aiming for readiness before 1980. The plan seeks practical space use for Earth observation, weather monitoring, communications, and possibly solar energy harvesting. Nixon also announced a recess appointment of Robert Gottschalk as commissioner of patents.
