- A brief history of the model
The U.S. Space Shuttle program started with the awarding of the contract to Rockwell
International's Space Transportation Systems Division. There were 6 shuttles built, Enterprise
OV-101 (Orbital Vehicle) for testing, Columbia OV-102, Challenger OV-099, Discovery OV-103,
Atlantis OV-104 and Endeavour OV-105. The first of 135 Space Shuttle missions took place April
12, 1981 and lasted 2 days 6 hours when STS-1 (Space Transportation System) was launched
using Space Shuttle Columbia. Of the 135 mission launches there were 2 tragedies when
Columbia and Challenger plus their crews were lost.
On July 26, 1972 North American Rockwell was awarded to build the space shuttle with the
fabrication of the aft section beginning on March 25, 1975. It wasn’t until April 12, 1981 that
Columbia made its first flight STS-1 returning Edwards AFB on April 14, 1981. On January 16,
2003 Columbia made its 28th and what would be its last launch. On February 1, 2003, during re-
entry a missing heat shield tile went unnoticed and Columbia was destroyed killing all seven
astronauts onboard. Since its first flight Columbia had travelled 201,497,772 km (125,204,911
miles)
