ENDEAVOUR

 (OV-105)

Endeavour was NASA's fifth and final space shuttle orbiter to join the fleet at Kennedy 

Space Center in Florida. Endeavour also is known inside the space agency by its designation Orbiter Vehicle-105, or OV-105.

Construction of Endeavour began on 

Sept. 28, 1987, and it rolled out of the assembly plant in Palmdale, Calif., on April 1991. 

For the first time, a national competition 

involving students in elementary and secondary schools produced the name of the new orbiter. 

After receiving 6,154 entries, 

representing more than 70,000 students, NASA chose Endeavour and it was announced by President George Bush in 1989. The name comes from a ship chartered to traverse the South Pacific in 1768 and captained by 18th century British explorer James Cook, an experienced seaman, navigator and amateur astronomer. 

Endeavour first launched 

May 7, 1992, on the STS-49 mission to capture the INTELSAT VI communications satellite and re-release it into a geosynchronous orbit. 

In 1993, Endeavour 

embarked on STS-61, the first servicing mission to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. 

Endeavour, on its final 

mission, STS-134, is scheduled to liftoff May 16, 2011. It will be the second space shuttle retired from NASA's fleet.
