The "Space Shuttle" developed by the US space agency NASA was for a long time the only reusable space transport system in the world. It consisted of the space shuttle (orbiter) components, with three reusable main engines, an external fuel tank and two solid rocket boosters with a total take-off thrust of 12.46 MN (1,270,566 kp). The space shuttle could simultaneously bring 24.5 tons of payload and 7 astronauts into a low earth orbit between 200 and 650 kilometers altitude. The first launch of a space shuttle into space took place on April 12, 1981 with the space shuttle "Columbia".
