The Enterprise made for the original Star Trek television series has been called an iconic design, and it influenced subsequent spacecraft in and outside the franchise.
Several vessels named Enterprise have been the main setting for various Star Trek spinoff series and films.
The ship is ordered decommissioned at the end of the sixth film, and it appears in a Starfleet Museum in the third season of Star Trek: Picard (2023).
In the third season of Star Trek: Picard, the saucer section has been attached to a different vessel's engineering hull, and it features prominently in the show's climax before becoming part of the Fleet Museum.
Under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer, the vessel is the first Earth-built starship capable of reaching Warp 5.

At the end of Star Trek Into Darkness, Enterprise has started its five-year mission under Captain Kirk.
The ship is destroyed in Star Trek Beyond, and a successor Enterprise, with registry NCC-1701-A, is commissioned at the film's conclusion.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022–present) focuses on Pike's command of the Enterprise, whose exterior and interiors were slightly modified from their Discovery appearance.
John Eaves, Scott Schneider, and William Budge redesigned the Enterprise for its appearance in the streaming series.
The ship was originally designed by Adam Ihle as part of a fan competition for Star Trek Online.
