Frequently asked
What is a Space Shuttle and why was it important?
The Space Shuttle was the first reusable spacecraft, launching from 1981 to 2011. Unlike earlier rockets that could only be used once, the shuttle could fly multiple missions, carrying astronauts and cargo to space. It built the International Space Station and launched the Hubble Space Telescope, revolutionizing how humans explore and study space.
How did the Space Shuttle launch and land?
The Space Shuttle launched vertically like a rocket, powered by two solid rocket boosters and three main engines. In space, it could move cargo and astronauts using its robotic arm. When returning, it glided back through Earth's atmosphere like an airplane and landed on a runway, making space travel more like aircraft operations.
How many astronauts could fit inside a Space Shuttle?
A Space Shuttle crew could include up to eight people, though typical missions carried five to seven astronauts. The shuttle had a flight deck for pilots and commanders, a middle deck for crew and cargo, and a payload bay that could hold satellites or space station modules weighing up to 27,500 kilograms.
