NASA chose, on cost grounds, to build Endeavour from spares rather than refitting Enterprise.", "spacecraft_config": { "id": 14, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/config/spacecraft/14/?format=api", "name": "Space Shuttle", "type": { "id": 3, "name": "Spaceplane" }, "agency": { "id": 44, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/agencies/44/?format=api", "name": "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "type": "Government" }, "in_use": false, "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/space2520shuttle_image_20190207032524.jpeg" } }, "launch": { "id": "c58981cc-5df8-46e0-85e1-1f27ca7fd9e2", "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/launch/c58981cc-5df8-46e0-85e1-1f27ca7fd9e2/?format=api", "launch_library_id": 410, "slug": "space-shuttle-endeavour-ov-105-sts-68", "name": "Space Shuttle Endeavour / OV-105 | STS-68", "status": { "id": 3, "name": "Success" }, "net": "1994-09-30T11:16:01Z", "window_end": "1994-09-30T11:16:01Z", "window_start": "1994-09-30T11:16:01Z", "inhold": false, "tbdtime": false, "tbddate": false, "probability": -1, "holdreason": "", "failreason": "", "hashtag": null, "launch_service_provider": { "id": 192, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/agencies/192/?format=api", "name": "Lockheed Space Operations Company", "type": "Commercial" }, "rocket": { "id": 381, "configuration": { "id": 493, "launch_library_id": null, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/config/launcher/493/?format=api", "name": "Space Shuttle", "family": "", "full_name": "Space Shuttle", "variant": "" } }, "mission": { "id": 766, "launch_library_id": 961, "name": "STS-68", "description": "STS-68 was a human spaceflight mission using Space Shuttle Endeavour that launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on 30 September 1994.", "launch_designator": null, "type": "Earth Science", "orbit": { "id": 8, "name": "Low Earth Orbit", "abbrev": "LEO" } }, "pad": { "id": 87, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/pad/87/?format=api", "agency_id": 121, "name": "Launch Complex 39A", "info_url": null, "wiki_url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Space_Center_Launch_Complex_39#Launch_Pad_39A", "map_url": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=28.60822681,-80.60428186", "latitude": "28.60822681", "longitude": "-80.60428186", "location": { "id": 27, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/location/27/?format=api", "name": "Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA", "country_code": "USA", "map_image": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/map_images/location_27_20200803142447.jpg", "total_launch_count": 264, "total_landing_count": 0 }, "map_image": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/map_images/pad_87_20200803143537.jpg", "total_launch_count": 206 }, "webcast_live": false, "image": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/space_shuttle_image_20230422074810.jpeg", "infographic": null, "program": [ { "id": 6, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/program/6/?format=api", "name": "Space Shuttle", "description": "The Space Shuttle program was the fourth human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which accomplished routine transportation for Earth-to-orbit crew and cargo from 1981 to 2011.", "agencies": [ { "id": 44, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/agencies/44/?format=api", "name": "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "type": "Government" } ], "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/space2520shutt_program_20200820202237.png", "start_date": "1981-04-12T12:00:03Z", "end_date": "2011-07-08T15:29:00Z", "info_url": "https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html", "wiki_url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program" } ] } } ], "last_flight": "1997-01-12T09:27:23Z", "first_flight": "1991-08-02T15:02:00Z" }
