NASA They are the only ones to launch space shuttles seeing as how the space shuttle is NASA's vehicle
only NASA has the password to space.
Their has only been one purely American space station, Skylab which was in operation between 1973-1974. America currently is a partner in the International Space Station, which has been in orbit since 1998. The US also participated in the Russian Mir space station program in the late 1990s.
The only facility now in space where people reside is the International Space Station.The crew of the space station are responsible for any repairs the station needs. Theoccasional re-supply launches bring them repair parts or equipment as needed.The first answer in this space is fanciful and false.
NASA has plans to launch 5 space Huttles in 2010, after that they will rely only on the Russian Soyuz rocket. Here is a list of the future mission (Please note that date are subject to chage). STS-130; Febuary 4th STS-131; March 18th STS-132; May 14th STS-134; July 29th STS-133; September 16th
No. Several other countries have space agencies, such as the European Space Agency.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest space station currently in operation. It orbits Earth and serves as a research laboratory for astronauts from multiple countries to conduct experiments in microgravity.
it is the international space station
Of the five that were sent into space (the Space Shuttle Enterprise was used only for landing tests only), three were successful.
there is only one it is the iss = international space station
Currently right now the International Space Station is the only space station in orbit. It has however been the only space station with such international participation that it can be really be considered international. Countries, including the US, have sent astronauts to Russia's former space station Mir. Just because the International Space Station is international, doesn't necessarily mean that every country uses it. Their are 15 countries that contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, and several European countries.
No, NASA is not the US government's only space agency. The United States also has the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), responsible for the development and operation of reconnaissance satellites, and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which focuses on collecting and analyzing geospatial intelligence.
