The Enterprise (OV-101) was a space shuttle commissioned by the United States of America's NASA space agency in 1976, and was the first Earth space vehicle to bear that name. As a prototype vehicle, the Enterprise was not actually designed to enter orbit, but was instead built mainly to verify the viability of certain systems - such as the landing systems of the space shuttle.
Images of this ship were displayed in Captain Jonathan Archer's quarters aboard the Earth Starfleet ship Enterprise (NX-01), and also on the recreation deck of the Starfleet starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). (Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
- In reality, the space shuttle Enterprise was so named following a letter writing campaign by Star Trek fans to President Gerald Ford.
