The development of a transport system for NASA with reusable main components began in 1972 at North American Rockwell and a number of other companies. The total weight of the space shuttle ready for launch is 2,055 t. A payload of 30 t can be carried into orbit up to 965 km above the earth. The orbiter prototype, the Enterprise, was completed in 1976. The Enterprise was used to research flight and landing properties in the atmosphere and to develop the space-suitable ferry. The first launch of a space shuttle into space then took place on April 12, 1981 with the space shuttle Columbia. With the completion of further orbiters from 1983, NASA intensified its scientific, experimental and strategic military activities together with the US Air Force. Communication and research satellites were transported into space, repairs carried out on site and the American space station set up and supplied. The Challenger was in space for the first time on April 4, 1983. The Discovery took off for the first time on August 30, 1984. Since October 3, 1985, the fourth space shuttle Atlantis has been in use on 26 missions. The Endeavor took off for the first time on May 7, 1992. This ferry was equipped with numerous new devices and computers, making it more efficient overall. The orbiters can remain in space for a maximum of 28 days. The enormous structural and thermal loads during take-off and landing require constant controls and maintenance of all components as well as the improvement of the equipment. The heat shield on the front and underside of the space shuttle is particularly affected and must be constantly monitored and repaired. In two tragic accidents in which the entire crew was killed, the Challenger were lost in 1986 and the Columbia in 2003. After a two-year hiatus and extensive changes to the orbiters and the main tank, the flights continued. When it landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California on August 9, 2005, the 31st flight of the Discovery and thus the 114th NASA space shuttle mission was successfully completed. With the resumption of shuttle flights, the expansion of the International Space Station ISS will continue over the next few years. This should also include the European Columbus space laboratory.
