| Description |
A smaller model of the NASA developed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_shuttle">Space Shuttle</a> at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. The Space Shuttle, developed in the late 1970s and first launched into space in 1981, is the spacecraft currently used by NASA for its human spaceflight missions but it will be retired from service, probably in 2010 or 2011, because of the high mission costs and the small fleet of orbiters that is left after the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger">Challenger</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia">Columbia</a> disasters. At launch, the Space Shuttle consists of a rust-colored external tank, two white, slender Solid Rocket Boosters, and the orbiter, a winged spaceplane which is the space shuttle in the narrowest sense. The orbiter carries astronauts and payload such as satellites or space station parts into low earth orbit, into the Earth's upper atmosphere |
