Spacelab ultimately finished where its career began its 16th and final mission was hoisted into space aboard Columbia in 1998. The lab would go on to fly aboard the rest of the fleet, playing host throughout its accomplished lifetime to unprecedented research in astronomy, biology and other sciences. From inside the lab, astronauts worked with the experiments on the pallet and within the crew module itself. Spacelab featured an enclosed crew work module connected to an outside payload pallet, which could be mounted with various instruments and experiments. Designed to be a space-based science lab, Spacelab was installed inside the orbiter's cargo bay.
Space Shuttle mission STS-9, launched in late November 1983, was the maiden flight for Spacelab. Image right: Columbia lifts off for the first time from Kennedy Space Center on April 12, 1981. Despite its limitations, the orbiter's legacy is one of groundbreaking scientific research and notable "firsts" in space flight. The heaviest of NASA's orbiters, Columbia weighed too much and lacked the necessary equipment to assist with assembly of the International Space Station. Named after the first American ocean vessel to circle the globe and the command module for the Apollo 11 Moon landing, Columbia continued this heritage of intrepid exploration.
