Space Shuttle Endeavour (Designation: OV-105) was built as a replacement for the Challenger, which was lost in an accident shortly after launch on January 28, 1986. Endeavour first flew on May 7, 1992. During this mission, STS-49, it captured and redeployed the stranded INTELSAT VI communications satellite. In December 1998, on STS-88, the Endeavour delivered the Unity Module (Node 1), the first American component, to the International Space Station.
Endeavour is scheduled for decommissioning in 2010. NASA expects to use Endeavour for the STS-134 mission, and the last shuttle to fly for the last mission of the Space Shuttle Program.
Endeavour, NASA's fifth space-rated space shuttle, is named after the British HMS Endeavour, the ship that took James Cook on his first voyage from 1768 to 1771. This is why the name is spelled in the British English manner, rather than the American English "Endeavor"
The Dragon Wings Space Collection includes high quality, fully assembled, die-cast models of spacecraft and rockets. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail using original specifications. They are constructed with diecast metal and some plastic components.
