Fictional Space Shuttle Orbiters?

Cafe Society
1

To put it succinctly, I’m putting together a list of fictional space shuttles, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

The one restriction is that the shuttles have to clearly be examples of Rockwell’s real-life shuttle orbiters, or close/minor variants thereof. (So Drax’s shuttle from Moonraker qualifies, just, but the two ships from Armageddon don’t. And the Farscape shuttle is right out.)

So far, I’ve got:

—Intrepid, Christa, Antares, and Constellation—Payne Harrison’s Storming Intrepid
—Moonraker—Moonraker (The other shuttles, as I remember, aren’t named)
—Camelot and Intrepid—Moontrap (An odd little Walter Koenig movie)
—Churchill—Lifeforce (Most people probably won’t remember this one for the Shuttle)

And that’s where I draw a blank. But I’m sure there are others, out there. Can anyone fill me in?

How about the animated shuttle from the opening sequence of Heavy Metal?

Aw, hell—Sorry, I meant to say NAMED fictional space shuttles. :smack:

I forgot that, because I suck.

Actually, make that :smack: :smack:

IIRC, they were named Moonraker 1 through Moonraker 5, or however many there were.

In Cyclops by Clive Cussler, he uses a shuttle named GETTYSBURG

6

Ranger 3 from Buck Rogers.

Did the one in “The Core” that lands in downtown LA use a real Shuttle callsign, or a fictional one?

8

The Shuttle that appears in an episode of Cowboy Bebop has a name on the bow, but I don’t recall it.

Daedalus - Shuttle name in “Space Cowboys”

10

Buran?

In the show LEXX, they use shuttles a lot (4th season). I don’t recall if they used the correct names or fictitious ones.

12

The 1986 movie SpaceCamp (which in a marketing nightmare coincided with the Challenger disaster) featured a shuttle, but I believe it was a real shuttle (Atlantis).

13

In Warren Ellis and Colleen Doran’s graphic novel Orbiter, the titular orbiter is the Space Shuttle Venture.

   I think it was Columbia.

Which became pretty ironic a year or so ago.

No-no.
Black comedy.

I can’t remember either, but you will have to come up with a hefty bribe to get me to watch that again.
