The NASA Astrovan (a.k.a. Crew transport Vehicle)! Custom ordered by NASA from Airstream to
accomodate the larger Space Shuttle crews. The early shuttle flights had smaller crews so the
Apollo-era transport van was used. The original NASA transport van was a custom Clark-Cortez motorhome.
Since 1984, every person that has flown in the Space Shuttle has ridden in the "Astrovan".

Once inside the Astrovan, crew members are seated on long, padded benches with lift-out sections to accommodate the ventilator units
used to circulate cool air through their bulky orange launch and entry suits. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
