The orbiter prototype, the Enterprise , was completed in 1976. completed. The Enterprise was used to research the flight and landing characteristics in the atmosphere and in the development of the space-qualified shuttle. The first launch of a Space Shuttle into space then took place on 12 April 1981 with the space shuttle Columbia . With the completion of further orbiters from 1983 onwards, NASA intensified its scientific-experimental and strategic activities together with the US Air Force. Communications communications and research satellites were transported into space, repairs were carried out on site and the and the American space station was set up and supplied. The Challenger was in space for the first time on 4 April 1983. for the first time. Discovery lifted off for the first time on 30 August 1984.

This shuttle was equipped with numerous new devices and computers and computers, making it more powerful overall. The orbiters can remain in space for a maximum of 28 days. for a maximum of 28 days. The enormous structural and thermal stresses during launch and landing require constant checks and maintenance of all components as well as improvements to the equipment. The heat shield and underside of the space shuttle is particularly affected by this and must be constantly monitored and repaired. As a result of two tragic accidents in which the entire crew was killed, Challenger and Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
