The Copernicus (NCC-1701-A/3) was a Federation shuttlecraft in service to Starfleet in the late 23rd century. She was assigned to the USS Enterprise.

In 2287, the Copernicus was used by Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Sybok to travel to the planet Sha Ka Ree. During the mission, the Copernicus was damaged by a malevolent creature that inhabited the planet, but was later recovered by the Enterprise. (TOS movie: The Final Frontier)

A few weeks later, the Copernicus transported Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy to the Enterprise when shore leave on Earth had finished. (TOS - Death Before Dishonor comic: "The Return!")
