Columbia, the most authoritative and symbolic name in the human space exploration history, was the oldest orbiter in the US Shuttle fleet. In 1981, the spaceship realized the human's first attempt to fly into Earth orbit, after which an important foundation had been set for other upcoming space missions. Since its first flight in 1981, the Columbia had completed 27 space missions before it and its crew were lost during the re-entry of its 28th mission.
Designed as a re-usable spacecraft for orbital human spaceflight, the Space Shuttle first flew on April 12, 1981. This American spacecraft system has flown more than 130 times, undergoing a variety of missions from satellite launch to space science experiments and construction and repair of space stations. The system is comprised of an external tank, two solid rocket boosters and an orbiter vehicle, which carries the crew and payload. The shuttle stack launches vertically, and the orbiter returns to Earth horizontally at the end of each mission. The shuttle has more than 2.5 million parts, making it one of the most complex machines ever built. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
