Endeavour

Endeavour is a term that can refer to several different things, including a notable space shuttle and a fictional ship from the Star Trek franchise. The Space Shuttle Endeavour (Hebrew: אנדרוור, French: Endeavour, Spanish: Endeavour) was the fifth and final orbiter built by NASA for the Space Shuttle program. It embarked on its first mission in May 1992 and its final mission in May 2011, contributing significantly to the construction of the International Space Station. The name Endeavour was chosen to honor the ship HMS Endeavour, which was commanded by Captain James Cook on his first voyage of discovery (1768–1771). In the Star Trek universe, the USS Endeavour (French: USS Endeavour, Spanish: USS Endeavour) is a starship that appears in various series and films, embodying the spirit of exploration and discovery central to the franchise. The term endeavour itself comes from Middle English and means "an attempt to achieve a goal" (Hebrew: ניסיון, French: effort, Spanish: esfuerzo).
