Our faithful representation of NASA’s Space Shuttle Endeavour is bound to inspire young explorers. The Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105) was named after the first ship commanded by 18th century British explorer James Cook on his voyage of discovery. This version has a pullback action and shuttle doors that open.

Starting with the records of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, formed in 1915 to study problems of flight and to conduct research in aeronautics, the National Archives holds in trust the records of NASA and other records related to aeronautics, including the Wright brothers' patent for their flying machine.
