Description
The Space Shuttle orbiter was the orbital spacecraft of the Space
Shuttle program operated by NASA, the space agency of the United States.
The orbiter was a reusable winged "space-plane", a mixture of rockets,
spacecraft, and aircraft. This space-plane could carry crews and
payloads into low Earth orbit, perform on-orbit operations, then
re-enter the atmosphere and land as a glider, returning its crew and any
on-board payload to the Earth. A total of six Orbiters were built for
flight: Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour and
Enterprise.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as
the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our
skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and
history buff!
