There are no Shuttle "secrets." It's not a classified program.

Sure there are Shuttle secrets. There have been classified Shuttle
flights for the DoD.

The flights, and their payloads, were classified.  Nothing about the
Shuttle itself was.

I suspect that the shuttle as well as many other NASA artifacts are
SBU (Secure But Unclassified). And if that doesn't seem like a
classification, though low, I don't know what it is.
