In 1972, NASA, America's space agency, began development of a reusable spaceship, calling it a Space Shuttle. This rocket plane could be launched on the back of a huge 154 foot long tank, using two booster rockets and its own three engines to climb into space orbit. The Shuttle itself is as large as a jetliner, and can carry a crew of seven plus a large payload. Completely loaded, the Shuttle, payload and launch tanks weight 4,500,000 lbs.

A fleet of Space Shuttles broadened our ability to develop activities in space. Satellites could be launched directly from a Shuttle, and soon they were used for carrying sections of the future space station into orbit to use as a launching point for deep space exploration.
