The scheduled launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour OV-105 was December 3, 1998 was scrubbed but one day later the shuttle launched successfully. On board was the Unity connecting module known as Node 1. This unit was connected to the first module called Zarya that had been placed in orbit earlier by a Russian rocket. There eventually would be two more modules called Harmony and Tranquility added to Node 1 to complete the ISS build. On December 15 the crew of six landed completing the first trip to the ISS.
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.
