The Space Shuttle was specifically designed to provide a multi-mission reusable orbital payload delivery capability. Overall, the system was required to have the capability to launch into orbit a number of large payloads and carry out a variety of complex orbital operations. After completing the Space portion of its mission, the Orbiter was designed to be able to reenter the earth’s atmosphere at a very high speed, slow down significantly, and land intact. The Orbiter was then to be quickly re-integrated with various Shuttle launch components in order to fly a subsequent mission.
