The first episode of Star Trek aired on NBC on Sept. 8, 1966, so in today's era of social media hashtags, that makes it #StarTrekDay. In honor of the occasion, we've compiled a gallery of photos of the 11-foot model of the U.S.S. Enterprise employed for special effects photography in the original show.
The science-fiction spaceship completed its stated "five-year" mission a little early, in 1969, so Paramount donated the historic model to Smithsonian in 1974.
