Do you know what is the most expensive mission by NASA? Some people may even know.

 Do you know what is the most expensive mission by NASA? Some people may even know. Today I thought of bringing a description about it.

So, the most costly operation carried out by NASA is the space shuttle mission. In the early days, the space shuttle mission started by NASA became the turning point of the various planes that roam in space. The main problem with rockets at that time was that they could not be used for another launch after one trip. NASA successfully overcame this problem with the introduction of the space shuttle.

Consisting of an internal tank, two externally connected booster rockets and an orbiter, the shuttle became one of the special milestones in modern engineering. As in a normal space launch, it leaves the Earth's atmosphere, roams in space, files the necessary data, and lands back on Earth in the form of a glider. It was the role.

NASA managed to launch five such spacecraft over three decades. They were named Discovery, Atlantis, Challenger, Endeavour, and Columbia. Both Challenger and Columbia were destroyed unexpectedly during the mission.

According to NASA's estimates, the total amount spent under the space shuttle program could be between 196 and 209 billion USD, and 135 launches were made, and each launch cost 1.5 billion USD.
