The Sacajawea was a Federation Type 6 shuttlecraft that was in service with Starfleet during the late-24th century.
The shuttle was attached to the USS Voyager when the ship was pulled into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker's array in 2371. It was given the designation of "shuttle 05". (VOY: "Coda")
In 2373, Captain Kathryn Janeway and Neelix used the Sacajawea for a three-day trade mission to the Tak Tak homeworld. The Doctor later took refuge in this shuttle after he was chased into the shuttlebay by the macroviruses that had overrun Voyager. Soon after, when Voyager was under attack by the Tak Tak starship that responded to their distress call, The Doctor was able to use the shuttle's sensors to determine who the attackers were after he patched the data down to Janeway, who was in the environmental control room. (VOY: "Macrocosm")
Later that year the Sacajawea, piloted by Neelix and Tuvok, along with two other shuttles, were sent to the Nezu colony planet in order to locate Doctor Vatm. En route it crashed on the planet's surface, resulting in the destruction of the vessel's warp drive and impulse engines. (VOY: "Rise")
