This original piece featuring unique musical effects was a Raleigh Ringers Series composition by Jason Krug, written in honor of the NASA Space Shuttle program. It portrays the dramatic stages of a shuttle mission: the sun rising over Cape Canaveral, the launch and orbit of the spacecraft, its fiery re-entry and finally the safe landing back on Earth.
