History:
The NASA Space Shuttle programme revolutionised spaceflight with its partially reusable design, enabling missions ranging from satellite deployment and space station construction to scientific research. First launched in 1981, the shuttle fleet—including Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour—conducted 135 missions over three decades. The combination of the orbiter, external tank, and twin solid rocket boosters created one of the most recognisable launch systems in aerospace history. The programme’s legacy endures through its contributions to the International Space Station and advances in human spaceflight.
