NAME REGISTRY NUMBER   INFO
Ansel Adams NCC-1701-D #06 Ansel Adams MSD

The Ansel Adams was a Federation Type 7 shuttlecraft that was in service to Starfleet in the latter half of the 24th century, attached to the USS Enterprise-D. It was shuttlecraft 06, and was not equipped with warp drive.
In 2365, Q transported this shuttlecraft, along with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, to somewhere outside the sensor range of the Enterprise, causing the Enterprise bridge crew to initiate a frantic search for the craft. After Picard agreed to consider a request by Q, he returned the shuttle to the shuttlebay and Picard to the Enterprise.
TNG "Q Who?"
Early in 2366, the Ansel Adams was listed on the shuttlebay operations display as being refitted in Hangar 2.

Feynman  

Enterprise-D shuttlecraft. The Feyman was taken by Captain Picard, Dr. Crusher, and Lieutenant Worf to planet Torman V.
TNG "Chain of Command, Part I"
The shuttlecraft Feyman was named for Dr. Richard Feynman (1918-1988), noted Nobel physicist and bongo player. The name was misspelled Feyman on the shuttle's exterior because of a mistake made in the art department.
The Picture in the Star Trek Encyclopedia II are wrong, the Feyman is a Type 7 Shuttle.

Hawking NCC-1701-D #15

The Hawking carried Ambassador Odan on an aborted flight to a peace conference on planet Peliar Zel in 2367. The shuttle was attacked by forces seeking to block the conference.
TNG "The Host"
Named for 20th-century mathematical physicist and Star Trek fan Dr. Stephan Hawking. The Hawking in TNG "The Host" was of a different design from the Hawking seen in Star Trek Generations. The name was re-used for the movie, despite the technical error, because of Executive Producer Rick Berman's admiration for the noted physicist. We didn't think Professor Hawking would mind.
The Picture in the Star Trek Encyclopedia II are wrong, the Hawking is a Type 7 Shuttle.
Indiana Jones NCC-1701-D #08 The Indiana Jones was a Type 7 shuttlecraft carried aboard the USS Enterprise-D. It was shuttlecraft 08.
In early 2366, the Indiana Jones was listed on the shuttlebay operations display as being located off-ship with its last reported location given as Starbase 515.
TNG "Evolution"
This craft seems to have been named as an in-joke reference to the Indiana Jones film series.

History:
  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.
