How does the space shuttle differ from earlier spacecraft?
I remember when the original space shuttle system was being proposed by NASA, it was supposed to be a two spacecraft type reusable system that would dramatically reduce the costs of putting both satellites and men in space. The original two spacecraft types in the system were:Space Shuttle: to launch men and payloads into low earth orbit and return them.Orbital Transfer Vehicle: manned vehicle parked in orbit after initial launch to carry payloads back and forth between low earth orbit and any desired higher orbit up to geosynchronous orbit.This system would allow for placing satellites in any orbit, returning them for maintenance or repair at the shuttle or in the factory back on earth, then placing them back in orbit.Congress immediately killed the second half of the system, to save costs, the half of the system that was really the whole purpose for having any of the system at all.The key difference between the shuttle system and earlier spacecraft was reusability, as many components as possible were to be reusable as much as possible; all earlier spacecraft every component was one time use throwaway. The new space shuttle replacement goes back to everything is one time use throwaway.
