Shuttle crew checking craft for damage - CBS News
Using robot arm to look over heat shield critical for re-entry to be sure it made it through launch in good shape
www.cbsnews.comHere’s the latest available information I can share directly: space shuttle news tends to center on museum displays, archival updates, and ongoing discussions about shuttle-era heritage rather than new flights, since the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011 and no operational shuttles fly today. If you’re looking for current reporting, I can pull recent articles from major outlets or NASA updates about spaceflight programs that reference shuttles historically or in context with successor systems.
If you’d like, I can:
- Compile a brief timeline of what happened to the Space Shuttle fleet and what followed (Orion, SLS, Starship context).
- Pull the most recent news from reliable sources about spaceflight programs that mention shuttles in historical or retrospective terms.
- Create a quick list of museum locations where actual Space Shuttles are on display and their status.
Tell me which of these you prefer or if you want me to fetch the latest headlines from today.
