One of the most famous pieces of equipment launched from a space shuttle was the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990. This iconic telescope has provided groundbreaking observations of the universe, transforming our understanding of space. The International Space Station (ISS) was also assembled using components launched from the space shuttle, making it another significant piece of equipment launched during the shuttle era.
The Columbia shuttle was launched using the Space Shuttle system, which involved strapping the shuttle onto a rocket boosters and an external fuel tank. The boosters provided most of the thrust during liftoff, with the shuttle's main engines igniting once in space.
The most recent space disaster involving the US was the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003, where the shuttle disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members.
Yesterday (August 31, 2009), the Space Shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station, assembling a total of 13 people living and working in space simultaneously.
The most recent space mission was the Perseverance rover mission to Mars, launched by NASA on July 30, 2020. The rover landed on Mars on February 18, 2021, with the goal of searching for signs of ancient microbial life and collecting samples for future return to Earth.

NASA maintains 3 shuttle orbiters, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. As of July 2009, the most recent launch was of Endeavour. Discovery is currently scheduled for launch in late August 2009.
The last space shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, with the space shuttle Atlantis flying the final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program, STS-135. Since then, NASA has relied on other vehicles, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon, for crewed missions to space.
