Summary

[edit]
Description

Orbiter Vehicle Designation OV103 Discovery was the third of the five shuttle orbiters launched and over her 27 year career she completed 39 missions, more than any other spacecraft ever built. Her first mission was STS-41D from 30th August to 5th September 1984 and her final mission was STS-133 from 24th February to 9th March 2011, after which she became the first operational Orbiter to be retired. Donated to the Smithsonian Institute by NASA, she was flown to Washington in April 2012 on one of the NASA Boeing 747 carrier aircraft and was exchanged for ‘Enterprise’, which had previously been on display here. Part of the National Air and Space Museum, she is seen on display in the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center Washington Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia
