History:
The Space Shuttle programme was developed by NASA as a reusable spacecraft system, first launching in 1981. Designed to carry astronauts and cargo into orbit, it played a key role in satellite deployment, scientific research and the construction of the International Space Station.
Operating until 2011, the Shuttle became one of the most recognisable symbols of space exploration. Its combination of orbiter, solid rocket boosters and external tank allowed for repeated missions, marking a significant era in human spaceflight and technological achievement.
