Background

The Discovery made history as the third orbiter in the Space Shuttle fleet. Her maiden flight on August 30, 1984 marked the beginning of a remarkable career with 39 successful missions. It transported the Hubble Space Telescope into space, launched numerous research satellites into orbit and played a key role in the construction of the International Space Station (ISS).

As the most reliable orbiter in NASA's fleet, Discovery proved its importance, especially after the tragic losses of the Challenger and Columbia. On both occasions, it led the return-to-flight missions, thus sending out important signals for the continuation of manned spaceflight.
