<p><span class="text-big">Space Shuttle Discovery</span> (Orbiter Vehicle
|
|
|
|
|
Designation: <code>OV-103</code>) is one of the orbiters from NASA's Space
|
|
|
|
|
Shuttle program and the third of five fully operational orbiters to be
|
|
|
|
|
built. Its first mission, STS-41-D, flew from August 30 to September 5,
|
|
|
|
|
1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed <span style="background-color:hsl(60,75%,60%);">39 times</span>,
|
|
|
|
|
gathering more spaceflights than any other spacecraft to date. The shuttle
|
|
|
|
|
has three main components: the Space Shuttle orbiter, a central fuel tank,
|
|
|
|
|
and two rocket boosters. Nearly <span style="background-color:hsl(120,75%,60%);">25,000 heat resistant tiles</span> cover
|
|
|
|
|
the orbiter to protect it from high temperatures on re-entry.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Discovery became the third operational orbiter to enter service, preceded
|
|
|
|
|
by Columbia and Challenger. <span style="color:hsl(270,75%,60%);">It embarked on its last mission, STS-133, on February 24, 2011</span> and
|
|
|
|
|
touched down for the final time at Kennedy Space Center on March 9, having
|
|
|
|
|
spent a cumulative total of almost a full year in space. Discovery performed
|
|
|
|
|
both research and International Space Station (ISS) assembly missions,
|
|
|
|
|
and also carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit.</p>
