No. The first shuttle that flew was the Enterprise. The first that traveled into space was Columbia
Enterprise but it never flew but Columbia was the first in space
A space shuttle is able to float because there is no gravity in space.
The space shuttle helped us to be able to go into space and find out lots of info. we did not know. Before we had the space shuttle all we had were telescopes. Telescopes were good but all that they gave us were a picture and then we had to estimate how far away things in the universe were from other things were in the universe. Now that we have the space shuttle we are able to see things that we may not have seen with the telescope. We are also able to see how far away things are from other things
The space shuttle is able to fire its engines in space because it takes the needed oxygen with it.
The space shuttle that landed on the moon was called Apollo. The Apollo missions were a series of manned missions conducted by NASA during the 1960s and 1970s, with Apollo 11 being the first to successfully land astronauts on the moon in 1969.
The space shuttle would not be able to land on an Aircraft carrier. It needs a lot longer runway.
A space shuttle isn't a probe, because humans are able to fly it. Not only that, but a space probe is most likely NOT to have life-support systems aboard.
The space shuttle was built to be able to fly 100 times each before being retired. The space shuttle with the most flights is Discovery with 36
Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.
The first shuttle to be stuck in space was the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. An oxygen tank explosion caused critical systems to fail, leading to a dangerous situation for the astronauts on board. Through ingenuity and teamwork, the crew and ground control were able to safely return the shuttle to Earth.
The space shuttle allowed for the deployment and servicing of satellites, construction and maintenance of the International Space Station, and the transportation of astronauts and supplies to space. It also facilitated scientific research in microgravity and helped advance our understanding of space travel and technology.
The space shuttle is able to go to the moon by using a special type of fuel and rises up the earth atmosphere until it overcomes the force of gravity.
