How is a space shuttle used in a satellite launch?
Generally space shuttles are not used to launch satellites as it is very costly to launch a space shuttle. Rockets with automated systems place satellites in orbit as opposed to a manned shuttle.
How can a shuttle be used to repair satellites?
Though now retired, the space shuttle was able to 'capture' satellites for repair and replace then in their correct orbit.
What is Space Shuttle used for?
The Space Shuttle was used by NASA for human spaceflight missions, such as deploying satellites, conducting research in microgravity, and servicing the Hubble Space Telescope. It served as a reusable spacecraft for launching missions into space and returning them safely back to Earth.
What was Sally Ride's job on the Space Shuttle?
On June 18, 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly in space. She was an astronaut on a space shuttle mission. Her job was to work the robotic arm. She used the arm to help put satellites into space.
The is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the Earth?
exosphere
What was the first spacecraft that was launched by a space shuttle?
The space shuttle is itself a spacecraft. Perhaps you are looking for information on the first satellites launched by a space shuttle. STS-5, launched 16 November 1982, deployed 2 satellites
How many satellites did the space shuttle discovery deploy?
31 (including the Hubble Space Telescope)
What are space shuttle used for?
To carry things to and from orbit around the Earth.
What types of missions does the space shuttle go on?
the missions vary from taking satellites into space or parts for the ISS (international space station) or repair jobs on existing satellites
What are the advantages of a space shuttle when it goes into space or even when it is getting ready to do a launch into space?
The space shuttle's reusable design allows it to launch, travel to space, return to Earth, and be prepared for launch again efficiently. Its large payload capacity enables the transportation of astronauts, cargo, and satellites to space in a single mission. Additionally, the space shuttle's ability to maneuver in space and deploy and repair satellites makes it a versatile spacecraft.
What does the space shuttle use to place a satellite into space?
The space shuttle uses its payload bay to carry and deploy satellites into space. Once the shuttle reaches the desired orbit, the robotic arm or astronauts inside the shuttle release the satellite into space.
What hosts the space shuttle and some satellites?
The Space Shuttle was primarily hosted at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it was launched and landed. Additionally, satellites are often hosted by various platforms, including the International Space Station (ISS) and dedicated satellite launch vehicles. These platforms provide the necessary infrastructure to deploy and operate satellites in orbit.
