Brief History of NASA Space Shuttles

The NASA Space Shuttle program, officially known as the Space Transportation System (STS), began in 1981 with the launch of STS-1 by the shuttle Columbia.

The program continued until its final mission in 2011 with STS-135 by Atlantis.

The shuttles played crucial roles in scientific research, satellite deployment, and the construction and servicing of the International Space Station (ISS). Their legacy continues to inspire advancements in space exploration and technology.
