Between the first launch on April 12, 1981, and the final landing on July 21, 2011, NASA's Space Shuttle fleet -- Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour -- flew 135 missions, helped construct the International Space Station, and inspired generations.
Space shuttle, partially reusable rocket-launched vehicle designed to go into orbit around Earth, to transport people and cargo to and from orbiting spacecraft, and to glide to a runway landing on its return to Earth’s surface. It was developed by NASA and made 135 spaceflights between 1981 and 2011.

After five days of service and upgrade work on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the STS-109 crew photographed the giant telescope in the shuttle's cargo bay. The telescope was captured and secured on a work stand in Columbia's payload bay using Columbia's robotic arm, where 4 of the 7-member crew performed 5 space walks completing system upgrades to the HST. Included in those upgrades were: The replacement of the solar array panels; replacement of the power control unit (PCU); replacement of the Faint Object Camera (FOC) with a new advanced camera for Surveys (ACS); and installation of the experimental cooling system for the Hubble's Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-object Spectrometer (NICMOS), which had been dormant since January 1999 when its original coolant ran out. The Marshall Space Flight Center had the responsibility for the design, development, and construction of the the HST, which is the most complex and sensitive optical telescope ever made, to study the cosmos from a low-Earth orbit. Launched March 1, 2002, the STS-109 HST servicing mission lasted 10 days, 22 hours, and 11 minutes. It was the 108th flight overall in NASA's Space Shuttle Program.

Electronic Space Shuttle: I made this project that link together two of my favourite fields : electronic and space. This space shuttle is made entirely from scratch.
On Feb. 1, 2003, seven astronauts were killed when the shuttle broke up over Texas preparing to land at Florida's Kennedy Space Center

Flight controllers in the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston completed the sixth and second to last full-duration 54-hour simulation of the STS-1 mission Jan. 20-22. Under the leadership of flight directors Neil B. Hutchinson, Charles R. “Chuck” Lewis, and Donald R. Puddy, three teams of controllers followed the STS-1 flight plan, with simulated anomalies introduced by the simulation #team #learnmajesty
