What happens to the rocket when it breaks away from the shuttle?
About 200 seconds after the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) break away from the NASA space shuttle parachutes are deployed at 15,000 feet and they land in the ocean. The SRBs usually land 140 miles off the coast of Florida where they float and are recovered by NASA. Once they are recovered they are refurbished and used on several other shuttle launches.
When is the best time of the year to launch the space shuttle?
Viewing a shuttle launch is a once in a lifetime experience for many, so one answer is whenever you get the opportunity. Many who have seen multiple launches state that night launches are their favorites. From a practical point of view, launches scheduled for times and dates where weather is less likely to cause delays are the best. Launches scheduled for summer afternoons and evenings are the most likely to be scrubbed due to the often volatile weather conditions.
Can you take a space shuttle in to space more than once?
yes
What happens once the space shuttle goes to space?
When a shuttle reaches outer space it can turn off its thrusters because the law of inertia states that an object in motion can stay at motion until a force acts upon it. And it can just fly without wasting gas/fuel.
Can you use the space shuttle more than once?
Yes

How do they send Hubble into space?
The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) was sent aloft only once, on board the Space Shuttle Discovery. It was launched April 25, 1990, from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. http://archive.eso.org/~amicol/HST/launch_orbit_new.html Subsequent servicing missions were performed by other shuttle launches.

What happens to astronauts's sweat when they do exercise?
there sweat starts to float in the space shuttle because once the astronauts are exercising in space they would start to sweat

What is the objective of a space shuttle?
Prior to the space shuttle the transportation vehicle was discarded. Space Shuttles are reusable once they are inspected and refitted, a great money saver.

Yes
When is the next US space shuttle going to launch?
The Space Shuttle Atlantis, the last of the space shuttles to be retired, began its last voyage on July 8, 2011. Once it landed safely on July 21, 2011, the Space Shuttle program was officially retired.
Was the space shuttle developed to be used only once?
Certainly not! The space shuttle was the first reuseable space craft. After its solid rocket boosters and belly tank fall away, they are collected from the sea.
What will happen to nasa once the space shuttle program is done?
it will continue as usual.nasa is not all about sending people to space, it has many important missions aside from the shuttle programe
Why does it take the space shuttle so long to get to the space station?
This is very hard to explain in just text, I recommend you look up videos Basically, when the shuttle launches its only goal is to get itself in a safe orbit and line its orbital path up with that of the space station. Once it is in a safe orbit maneuvering takes place that changes the size of the shuttle's orbit so that it either goes around slower or faster than the station so that it can catch up to the station or let the station catch up to it. Once they are close the shuttle must make its orbit the same as the station so as not to go past it and then it can make small adjustments in its orbit to dock
