Poster 17 Shuttle Discovery
Discovery went on to complete 39 successful missions and spend 365 days in space total, surpassing the other orbiters in NASA’s fleet of space shuttles. The orbiter has an esteemed list of accomplishments, such as being the first to dock with the International Space Station and serving as the Return-to-Flight orbiter following both the Challenger and Columbia tragedies. It was also the orbiter that carried the Hubble Space Telescope to space and completed two of the five servicing missions on the telescope.
