7. Spacelab
Spacelab
A major component of the Space Shuttle Program was Spacelab, primarily contributed by a consortium of European countries, and operated in conjunction with the United States and international partners.
[38] Supported by a modular system of pressurized modules, pallets, and systems, Spacelab missions executed on multidisciplinary science, orbital logistics, international cooperation.
[38] Over 29 missions flew on subjects ranging from astronomy, microgravity, radar, and life sciences, to name a few.
[38] Spacelab hardware also supported missions such as Hubble (HST) servicing and space station resupply.
[38] STS-2 and STS-3 provided testing, and the first full mission was Spacelab-1 (
STS-9) launched on November 28, 1983.

Spacelab formally began in 1973, after a meeting in Brussels, Belgium, by European heads of state.
[21] Within the decade, Spacelab would go into orbit and provide not only Europe, but also the United States, with an orbital workshop and hardware system.
[21] International cooperation, science, and exploration were realized on Spacelab.
