The Shuttlecraft Galileo was a Class F shuttlecraft,[1] named for the Human astronomer Galileo Galilei. The Galileo crashed on Taurus II during a mission to investigate the Murasaki 312 quasar-like phenomenon on Stardate 2821.5. Although Commander Spock and Lieutenant Commander Scott were able to get the shuttle back into orbit, there was insufficient fuel and the orbit began to decay. In a last-ditch effort to attract the attention of search parties, Spock ignited the shuttle's remaining fuel. The surviving crew members were beamed away just as the shuttle began to break up during re-entry into the Taurean atmosphere.[2] The Galileo was succeeded by another shuttlecraft with the same name and registry, the Shuttlecraft Galileo II NCC-1701/7.[3]
