STS-1 Space Shuttle Columbia: America's First Space Shuttle

Introducing the first example of the future fleet of the newly reworked Seraku Space Shuttles for Juno New Origins.

The first to roll out on this release is STS-1: America's First Space Shuttle. OV-102 Columbia. Now even better than ever!!

History ("The Real Deal")

STS-1 (Space Transportation System-1) was the first orbital spaceflight of NASA's Space Shuttle program. The first orbiter, Columbia, launched on April 12, 1981, and returned on April 14, 1981, 54.5 hours later, having orbited the Earth 37 times. Columbia carried a crew of two—mission commander John W. Young and pilot Robert L. Crippen. It was the first American crewed space flight since the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) in 1975. STS-1 was also the maiden test flight of a new American spacecraft to carry a crew, though it was preceded by atmospheric testing (ALT) of the orbiter and ground testing of the Space Shuttle system.

The launch occurred on the 20th anniversary of Vostok 1, the first human spaceflight, performed by Yuri Gagarin for the USSR. This was a coincidence rather than a celebration of the anniversary; a technical problem had prevented STS-1 from launching two days earlier, as was planned.

New Features!

-Simplistically detailed External Tank and SRB Stack
-Realistic Control Surfaces
-New Vertical Stabilizer derived from the AASA Shuttle Orbiter
-RS-25 with mockup plumes from LockSource's Magellan Spacecraft Shuttle.
-Payload Bay Doors improved with more IRL opening angles
-New radiator panels with improved texturing.
-KU-Band Antenna (Controlled by AG1 with Slider 3 at +100% and Silder 4 at either +100% or -100%)

Instructions to prep the shuttle before launch.
-Use Slider 1 and Staging to retract the "beanie" cap. Slide it down 1 at -80%.


-Use Slider 1 and AG7 to retract the crew access arm. Slide it down 1 at -80% as well.


Shuttle was based from the Discovery Space Shuttle Ver2.1 Shuttle Craft
