The Space Shuttle is not a capsule, it's a spacecraft. They found many pieces of the Challenger space shuttle, including the crew compartment.
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on takeoff in 1986, tragically killing all seven crew members on board.
The Shuttle requires a minimum of four crew members to operate safely and there have been as many as eight. I haven't looked this up but a typical crew is probably about 6.
The Space Shuttle could carry a maximum of 8-10 astronauts per mission.
No space shuttle has been launched for the moon. It can't carry enough fuel to get there. Couldn't land if it got there.
From April 1981 to July 2011 when the Space Shuttle was retired.
There were seven astronauts onboard the space shuttle Challenger when it tragically exploded shortly after its launch on January 28, 1986.
If you mean the international space station, then there are 13 people on board
The size of the crew varies depending on the mission needs but seven is the normal crew size. The earliest flights only had a crew of two. This size grew to five and more recently a crew consists of seven. There is the commander, the pilot, several mission specialists and on occasion a flight engineer. On two missions, the crew grew to eight people. Under emergency situations, such as having to evacuate the space station, up to 11 people can safely fit. See the related link for more information.
Yes, Space Shuttles carried people into space for many years. Today they have been retired and are no longer in use.
A typical crew for a shuttle mission consists of 5-7 astronauts.
