The Einstein (NCC-1701⁄6) was a Federation Class F shuttlecraft that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-23rd century, attached to the USS Enterprise. (TOS: “The Doomsday Machine”)

In 2267, this shuttle was piloted by Commodore Matt Decker on a suicidal mission to the planet killer. 

In the original version of the episode, the flight of the shuttle was recycled footage of the Galileo from “The Galileo Seven”. For the remastered version, CBS Digital crafted a CGI model with new registry and name. Though the registry was visible in the episode, the name was illegible. On StarTrek.com, Mike Okuda, when asked for the name of the shuttle, replied that it was the Einstein. –Memory Alpha
