The Space Shuttle programme was active for more than thirty years. During that time, 135 missions were launched using five different orbiters.

Following the 2003 loss of the Columbia orbiter during STS-107, NASA halted the programme for more than two years in order to add a variety of safety improvements. The next mission, STS-114, tested these safety improvements successfully. The Interaction crew was there to cover every step of the mission, with help from George W Bush.
