Space Shuttle
Enterprise
(NASA
Orbiter Vehicle Designation
:
OV-101
) was the first
orbiter
of the
Space Shuttle
system. Rolled out on September 17, 1976, it was built for
NASA
as part of the
Space Shuttle program
to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a
modified Boeing 747
. It was constructed without
engines
or a functional
heat shield
, and was therefore not capable of
