There is a model of the shuttle, exhibited in Europe, which is identified as Pod 09. The name of the shuttle is covered by tape. It is not known if this model ever appeared in an episode. Furthermore, in one of the magazines published by [[Starlog (magazine)|Starlog]] for the Next Generation, there is a picture of the shuttle ''Heinlein''. Again, it's not known if this shuttle ever appeared in an episode. |

The type-7 shuttlecraft is a Starfleet auxiliary vehicle carried by starships in the 24th century.
Service history
The type-7 shuttlecraft was introduced sometime prior to 2364. They are standard shuttlecraft aboard Galaxy class (TNG: "Coming of Age"), Excelsior class (TNG: "The Child"), and Nebula class (Star Trek Generations) starships.
Technical data
The type-7 shuttle is a short to medium range craft. Some shuttles are equipped with warp drive and are useful for interstellar travel (TNG: "Samaritan Snare", "Chain of Command, Part I"), while others are restricted to impulse speeds. (TNG: "Q Who") The impulse engine is located at the very aft of the vessel. The shuttles are typically unarmed and have minimal deflector shield coverage. (TNG: "Deja Q", "The Host") They have escape transporters, which can be reconfigured for use as standard transporters if necessary. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")
The forward cockpit contained two seats, each with a small console and a view out the shuttlecraft window. The center of the cockpit was not a window, but a large display which gave navigation information and acted as a viewscreen. (TNG: "Unnatural Selection") The aft area had passenger seating and sensor control. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")
By 2369, most type-7 shuttlecraft had interiors very similar to that of the type-6 shuttlecraft. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I")
The hull markings were also changed around 2367. Originally, the shuttle had Starfleet pennants along its nacelle pylons, the full Starfleet registry number of its attached vessel on its rear hull in a narrow italic font, and the shuttle number in large font along the midhull. Later shuttles had the registry number without the prefix in the standard font used on the hulls of starships, the Starfleet pennant along the ship's "belt," and the shuttle number in a smaller font contained within the lines of the pennant.

Background
The type-7 shuttle was designed by Andrew Probert during the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and would first be seen in an okudagram appearing in TNG: "The Naked Now", and first appeared as a studio model in "Coming of Age". Unfortunately, the curvaceous hull was too difficult to replicate for a full scale model, resulting in a less than convincing mockup seen in "Unnatural Selection" and "The Host".
The type-7 was eventually replaced by the type-6 during the fifth season of TNG. However, the type-7 reappeared for the sixth season episodes "Chain of Command, Part I", "Chain of Command, Part II", and "Ship in a Bottle". The type-7 interior set was apparently struck, requiring the type-6 shuttle interior to be used instead. In "Ship in a Bottle," the rear section of the Sakharov was clearly seen as a type-6 shuttle while it launched as a type-7, although this can be explained as simply an error created by the holodeck.
There is a model of the shuttle, exhibited in Europe, which is identified as Pod 09. The name of the shuttle is covered by tape. It is not known if this model ever appeared in an episode. Furthermore, in one of the magazines published by Starlog for the Next Generation, there is a picture of the shuttle Heinlein. Again, it's not known if this shuttle ever appeared in an episode.
