The concept of space shuttles was developed in the 1970s, with NASA officially beginning the Space Shuttle program in 1972. The first shuttle, Columbia, was launched on April 12, 1981. The program aimed to create a reusable spacecraft for missions to low Earth orbit, significantly advancing human spaceflight capabilities. The last shuttle mission took place in July 2011, marking the end of the program.
