The Space Shuttle was constructed to allow more routine access into low earth orbit. Originally, NASA had planned to fly the shuttle 24 times a year launching multiple commercial and government payloads into orbit, but due to technical difficulties as well as the Challenger Disaster in 1986, the Shuttle became a science and space station construction platform until its retirement in 2011.
