Space Shuttle Enterprise, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, New York, New York State, United States of America.

It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere, aided by a modified Boeing 747. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight. It was rolled out on September 17, 1976.
