- You may also be looking for its replacement, the Galileo (2267-2268).
The shuttle Galileo.
The Galileo (NCC-1701/7) was a Class F shuttlecraft attached to the USS Enterprise in the 2260s.
In 2267, pursuant to the starship's standing orders, the Galileo was dispatched to investigate Murasaki 312, a quasar-like phenomena. This was First Officer Spock's first command, but unfortunately, the ionization effect of the quasar forced the craft to crash-land on Taurus II and she was unable to regain orbit due to the loss of fuel. Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott was able to repair the shuttle by using hand phasers as a replacement fuel source, and the shuttle lifted off and achieved orbit. In a desparate gamble, Spock jettisoned and ignited the fuel, hoping that a signal flare would be seen before the orbit decayed and Galileo burned up. The craft flew long enough to gain the attention of the Enterprise, the surviving crew was recovered, but the shuttle herself was lost. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
- The Galileo was the first shuttlecraft created for Star Trek, although a shuttle from Starbase 11, in TOS: "The Menagerie, Part I," was the first televised shuttle as that episode was aired before TOS: "The Galileo Seven."
