It was the 135th and final launch of the Space Shuttle Program. The program lasted 30 years. The spacecraft that launched was Space Shuttle Atlantis.
The space shuttle is itself a spacecraft. Perhaps you are looking for information on the first satellites launched by a space shuttle. STS-5, launched 16 November 1982, deployed 2 satellites
how is the space shuttle different form other spacecraft
The mission of the space shuttle Challenger was to deploy a satellite called the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS). This satellite was designed to improve communication between ground stations and other orbiting spacecraft.
No, Voyager is not an American space shuttle. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are twin spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer planets. They are not designed for human travel like the space shuttle.
Atlantis was the last space shuttle, But the mission was STS-135
The final space shuttle mission, STS-135, ended July 21, 2011 when Atlantis landed at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
