Museum Provenance

The Space Shuttle consists of the Orbiter—a delta wing airplane-like vehicle mounted on a large cylindrical external propellant tank—attached to two solid-propellant booster rockets. The Space Shuttle is launched like a rocket, performs Earth orbital missions of up to 15 days, then lands like an airplane to be refurbished for another mission. The crew may include as many as seven people: commander, pilot and mission specialists. A 1:15 scale model of the entire shuttle system is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
