The development of a transport system with reusable main components for
NASA began in 1972 at North American Rockwell and a series of other
firms. The overall weight of the space shuttle ready for launch is 2,055
tonnes. It can carry a payload of 30 tonnes into an orbit up to 965 km
above the earth. The orbiter prototype, the Enterprise was completed in
1976. The Enterprise served for testing flying and landing
characteristics in the atmosphere and for the development of the space
shuttles. The first space shuttle to be launched into space on 12th
April 1981 was the Columbia . From 1983 onwards, with the completion of
more orbiters, NASA considerably intensified their scientific
experiments and strategic military activities in collaboration with the
US Air Force. Communication and research satellites were transported
into space, on-the-spot repairs were carried out and the American space
station was built up and provisioned. The Challenger was launched into
space for the first time on 4th April 1983. The Discovery lifted off for
the first time on 30th August 1984. Since 3rd October 1985 the fourth
space shuttle, the Atlantis , has been used for 26 missions. The
Endeavour was launched for the first time on 7th May 1992. This shuttle
was equipped with numerous new pieces of equipment and computers, which
increased its capabilities. The orbiters can remain in space for up to
28 days. The enormous structural and thermal loads that they undergo on
take off and landing require constant inspection and maintenance of all
the components and improvements to the equipment. The heat shield on the
front and underside of the space shuttle is particularly important and
needs to be regularly checked and repaired. Due to two tragic accidents
in which the whole crew lost their lives, the Challenger was lost in
1986 and the Columbia in 2003. Flights resumed after a two-year
interruption and extensive modifications to the orbiters and the main
tank. When it landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on 9th
August 2005, the 31st flight of the Discovery brought the 114th NASA
space shuttle mission to a successful conclusion. When shuttle flights
are resumed in the next few years the construction of the international
space station ISS will continue. The European space lab Columbus will
also take part.
