Columbia was the first of the shuttle fleet to go into space. This mission, STS-1, was commanded by John Young, a veteran of the Gemini and Apollo missions. It was also the orbiter that disintegrated during re-entry in 2003.
There were a total of 135 Space Shuttle missions conducted by NASA from 1981 to 2011. The program included notable missions such as the first shuttle flight, STS-1, and the construction of the International Space Station (ISS). The shuttle fleet consisted of five orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. The program concluded with the final mission, STS-135, in July 2011.
The Space Race was a competition for victory between the US and the USSR. It began with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union. It involved many other missions to include Explorer 1, Vostok 1, Mariner 2, Ranger 7, and Luna 9. Some of the more well known missions are the Apollo missions 1-17.
