A new era in space flight began on April 12,1981 when the Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-1, soared into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. America and the world cheered the pioneering spirit that the Shuttle program would mean for decades to come. The shuttle program lasted 30 years, with six different shuttle craft, and 135 missions flown. The program successfully utilized reusable spacecraft, launched several satellites and probes like the Hubble Space Telescope, and helped construct the International Space Station. Now an innovative NASA space shuttle sculpture honors the accomplishments of the program.
