Pontifract space station
The next flight to the international space station (ISS) is not yet confirmed. Further dates and notifications have been delayed by a few weeks as we are running low on organisation and staff. Many thanks
The space station Mir.
No. The operating space station is a cooperative project involving several nations.The International Space Station is not only an orbiting laboratory, but also a space port for a variety of international spacecraft. As of June 2014, there have been:97 Russian launches37 Space Shuttle launches1 test flight and 3 operational flights by SpaceX's Dragon1 test flight and 1 operation flight by Orbital Science's Cygnus4 Japanese HTVs4 European ATVs
The number of astronauts on the space station can vary, but typically there are 6 astronauts on board the International Space Station at a time.
The United States Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Russian Mir Space Station for the first time on June 29, 1995 as part of the STS-71 mission. The docking marked the first time a Space Shuttle docked with a space station.
The reason why space station are that important is because humans body normally can't live in space. There are different factors that when in space can affect humans body and space station or spacecraft's role is to support humans to remain in space for a period of time.
Usually the number of crew members of the international space station should never be below three. However when the space shuttle docks with the ISS the number of crew members could be above 10. It all depends on the mission and the flight training schedule.
Possibly due to the fact this is an International Space Station and not ( Go to Whoa) a Nasa project like the Space Shuttle, Apollo series or similar. It is sad indeed that interest in manned space flight- the all time attraction to TV Live coverage- some forty-plus years ago has dwindled so.
The space shuttle Columbia completed 27 successful space flights, not including its final flight whereupon it was destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere. It was the only shuttle apart from the Challenger never to dock with the Mir Space Station or the International Space Station.
Julie Payette went into space in 1999 as part of the STS-96 mission on the space shuttle Discovery. She was a mission specialist for this flight to the International Space Station.
it is advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather a space shuttle because a space station allow astronauts to stay and work extended time . A space shuttle is a space craft to transport astronauts , satellites, and other materials to and from space.
The International Space Station (ISS) typically houses six astronauts at a time. This number allows for efficient operation and management of resources on the station.
