What is the difference between 'spacecraft' and 'space shuttle'?
A spacecraft is a general name for a vehicle that can be launched into space. The space shuttles are a particular type of NASA spacecraft used for the Space Transportation System programme to move people, supplies and parts into space and back again. Also the reason why spacecrafts are more versatile than a spacecraft is that a space shuttle allows a living organism to live in space for a long period of time. While the spacecraft orbits around the earth several times and then comes back down to earth.
Are solar batteries commonly used by NASA?
Solar cells are commonly used on spacecraft but because a spacecraft might spend a considerable amount of time in the dark they also have fuel power. They most obviously use oil based fuel to launch the spacecraft into space.
What is robotic spacecraft?
A robotic spacecraft, is a spacecraft with robots in it,
Why is the space shuttle cheaper to operate than the first spacecraft?
The Space Shuttle is cheaper to operate because it can be used again and again. Other spacecraft can only be used once, then thrown away or recycled. Launching multi-stage rockets is very expensive, because most of the space craft is lost once it falls to Earth.
Can you name the spacecraft used before the space shuttle?

What makes the Space Shuttle better than previous rockets?
The Space Shuttle is better than previous spacecraft because of the fact that it is reusable. NASA doesn't need to build a new shuttle every time they need to do a mission, they can just do nessasary maitenence and launch it again. Past spacecraft would do the mission, then land in the ocean, and never be used again. The shuttle will land like an airplane, so it isn't destroyed on impact, and it will be used again.
Which spaceship was used by astronauts for landing on the moon?
