NASA JPL - The Footsteps of Voyager

The introduction of the Space Shuttle in the 1980s began a new era in America's space program. This new vehicle offered both opportunities and challenges for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and its arrival coincided with the opportunity to fly new robotic missions. JPL would be among the first to demonstrate how the shuttle could be used for space science with its pioneering missions to map Earth's surface with radar. However, for missions like Galileo, destined for Jupiter, riding about the shuttle introduced major engineering challenges.
