The space shuttle communication system was highly complex. The Orbiter Communications & Tracking System must interface with not only the NASA Spaceflight Tracking & Data Network, but also the NASA Tracking & Data Relay Satellite System, the USAF Satellite Control Facility, other satellites, crew members performing extravehicular activities (EVA), the FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) voice communications, & FAA & military air navigational aids. This painting was published in an issue of Air & Space Magazine. Moon Man Publishing "Inventing Apollo" The Artwork of James Burns This exclusive collection of James Burns artwork reveals the lunar landing & lunar exploration in a way never before seen by the public. Moon Man Publishing's Founder Alan Scalone's father, Sam Scalone, worked with James Burns at RCA on the Apollo Moon Mission Projects. Sam as one of the mechanical engineers & James as the concept artist worked hand in hand with the engineering team to invent & design the equipment that would ultimately be built & used on the Apollo Moon landing missions & other NASA space programs. These drawings were used in the top secret meetings where NASA decided to approve or not approve funding to build the equipment seen in the artwork. The outcome of these meetings & James's drawings determined how man would go to the Moon, the equipment they would use, & the very creation of the communications equipment that allowed the world to witness man's first steps on the Moon.
