The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Space Shuttle program was a groundbreaking initiative that enabled humans to travel through space like never before. The first successful launch of the shuttle took place on April 12, 1981. Within its operational lifespan, which lasted for nearly three decades, NASA's Space Shuttle fleet consisted of five orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. Each spacecraft played a vital role in advancing space exploration capabilities. Throughout its history, the Space Shuttle program achieved numerous milestones, including the deployment of several International Space Station modules, launching satellites into orbit, and conducting research experiments on board the shuttle itself.
