Location Launch Complex 39A Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA 185 rockets have launched from Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA. Rocket Space Shuttle Endeavour OV-105 Length: 38.1 meters Diameter: 8.4 meters First Launch: May 7, 1992 Space Shuttle Endeavour (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-105) is a retired orbiter from NASA’s Space Shuttle program and the fifth and final operational Shuttle built. The United States Congress approved the construction of Endeavour in 1987 to replace Challenger, which was destroyed in 1986. Structural spares built during the construction of Discovery and Atlantis were used in its assembly. NASA chose, on cost grounds, to build Endeavour from spares rather than refitting Enterprise or accepting a Rockwell International proposal to build two Shuttles for the price of one. The Space Shuttle Endeavour OV-105 rocket has been launched a total of 25 times with 25 successful and 0 failed launches.
