Copernicus (NCC-1701-A/03)

The Copernicus (NCC-1701-A/3) was a Federation shuttlecraft assigned to the USS Enterprise-A in the 2280s.

In 2287, the Copernicus was used by Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Sybok to travel to the planet Sha Ka Ree. During the mission, the Copernicus was damaged by a malevolent creature that inhabited the planet, but was later recovered by the Enterprise. (TOS movie: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier).

A few weeks later, the Copernicus transported Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy to the Enterprise when shore leave on Earth had finished. (TOS comic: "The Return!").
