Discovery's Spectacular Final Voyage to the Stars
Over the course of nearly three decades in service, the Space Shuttle Discovery undertook a comprehensive array of missions, representing the full spectrum of capabilities within the Space Shuttle program. As the third orbiter vehicle to venture into space, Discovery commenced its operational tenure in 1984. Throughout its illustrious career, it completed an impressive tally of 39 missions in Earth's orbit, accumulating a remarkable 365 days in space and traversing nearly 150 million miles.
One particularly poignant moment etched into space history was captured in a NASA video, thoughtfully enhanced with captions by the Museum. This footage encapsulates Discovery's poignant final launch during the STS-133 mission, wherein it embarked on a journey to the International Space Station in 2011. This mission marked both an end and a continuation of Discovery's legacy, symbolizing its integral role in advancing space exploration while paying tribute to its decades of service.
