The space shuttle Discovery was the third orbiter from NASA's space shuttle program. It's first mission was August 30, 1984 and it's last was February 24, 2011. In it's nearly 27 years of service, it launched and landed 39 times, gathering more spaceflights than any other spacecraft. During that time, it spent nearly one year in space. The Discovery is well known for it's mission to carry the Hubble Telescope into space. Discovery has earned a place of honor in the collection of national treasures preserved by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
Interesting Facts
Champion of the shuttle fleet: Discovery is the longest- serving orbiter with 39 Earth-orbital missions, a total of 365 days in space and almost 240 million kilometers (149 million miles) travelled. It shuttled 184 people into space and back with many of them travelling more than once.
Always the first: Discovery took to space a first non-astronaut, Charles Walker, who flew as a payload specialist (1984). The orbiter was flown by the first African American commander, Frederick Gregory (1989) and piloted by the first female spacecraft pilot, Eileen Collins (2000).
Museum Piece
The space shuttle is the centerpiece of the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia -- Also known as the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
The Discovery was permanently moved to the museum on April 19th, 2012 after a month-long decontamination process.
