Yes, I believe I remember reading that article. It concerned the "on-board shuttle group," a branch of Lockheed Martin Corps space mission systems division. The detailed organization of their intensive development process was impressive. Now that the shuttle is museum history, I wonder if Lockheed managed to keep the group together for other such extremely high spec projects.

I found that article here...
