Endeavour is the fifth and final space shuttle built by Nasa.
The work itself was a space shuttle built from salvaged materials, a commentary on the liminal nature of the assistants who helped build it.
In the end, Nasa decided to send Enterprise, the first shuttle built but which never went into space, to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
The second shuttle built was the Challenger, which first launched on April 4 , 1983 and was lost in the tragic post-launch explosion on Jan . 28 , 1986

The shuttles built after the Columbia carry recorders that gather information from 200 to 300 sensors, Mr. Hartsfield said.
Its novel scheme involves using the technology that has already been developed by NASA for the space shuttle to build orbiting space-stations out of the empty fuel tanks that are usually discarded when the shuttle reaches orbit.
At that time, still pursuing Braun's vision of a space plane and complementary orbiting base, the agency had hoped to use the shuttle to build a space station, but the high cost of funding the first project precluded starting the second.
"The shuttle was built by Rockwell for a profit.
