Na mgbakwunye na ihe atụ nke a kagbuworo mmecha ya, e wuru usoro Shuttle zuru ezu ise ma jiri ya mee ihe na ngụkọta nke ọrụ 135 site na 1981 ruo 2011, nke sitere na Kennedy Space Center (KSC) na Florida. Ọrụ ndị a na-arụ na-ebute ọtụtụ satịlaịtị, nyocha nke mbara ala, na Hubble Space Telescope (HST); mere nnwale sayensị na mbara igwe; ma sonye na iwu na ịrụ ọrụ nke International Space Station.
