6 months ago
The Space Shuttle orbiter was the spaceplane component of the Space Shuttle (along with the external tank and solid rocket boosters) from its first flight in 1981 to its last flight in 2011.
There were 5 spaceworthy orbiters built (see below), (: all built in game:
- Columbia (1981 - 2003): 28 missions (first flight)
- Challenger (1983 - 1986): 10 missions
- Discovery (1984 - 2011): 39 missions
- Atlantis (1985 - 2011): 33 missions (last flight)
- Endeavour (1992 - 2011): 25 missions
Each was made as close as possible to its most recent livery.
--> Mobile friendlier version (~1300 parts) <--
How to use
Get in a different plane first, climb high, go fast, set a custom spawn point.

This is not a memorial post. Comment accordingly. Thanks
@Eggplant sr for so late but i added you to the monthly player's content, the previous month (finaly)
Late post but it seems to brake pretty slowly, not a huge issue though.
Now this is sweet... always liked the space shuttle orbiter
(and Buran)
if it works, then it works
@Timslocum18 dawg not everyone can afford a high end phone like you, think about it
@AirPhilippinesFlight541 @Ratsey @DCSplanepro12
Lower part count version vvv

@DCSplanepro12 my phone handles this perfectly u must have a computer from the 99c or less store
@Eggplant thanks man, can’t wait
omg enother build which my pc cant handle... how do i film it smoothly? is there eny mobile friendly version?
@Ratsey i'll see what i can do
Think you could make a version with roughly ~1k parts so that way it is more manageable for lower end devices?
Extraordinary work
@Eggplant Technically, it could be considered a memorial post for the whole space shuttle program.
TYFYS NASA. *not sarcastic*
This will k*ll ur cell phone
@keru91239 Thanks <3 I would have but I wanted to be able to control how much it deflects instead of just on/off
This is amazing, you should try adding the split-brake being controlled by brakes instead of flaps.
@Eggplant Wrong place to post a masterpiece like this, Juno New origins is the place for these builds. (Disclaimer: I don’t mean this seriously, it’s a joke comment fyi)
@Mal0ne uhhh ok
I love spaceplanes
nice nasa build
@Mal0ne beat you to it
Grate
I’m slapping this on a 747
@Eggplant mobile friendly part limit that is acceptable is around 500 to 1500, as far as i know
