Scientists are still exploring exactly what can be done in outer space and how we can do it, so mostly the space shuttles and space stations have been used for research about weightlessness, vacuum, and other aspects of being in outer space. Space certainly has some very solid practical applications already, such as communications satellites and global positioning satellites, and one of the functions of space shuttles has been to put satellites in their orbits (although there are also other ways of putting satellites into orbit) and in some cases, to repair satellites that are already in orbit.

Does electricity work in space?
Electricity works in space because it has been proven to work on the space shuttles. Electricity has also been proven to work on the space stations.
Space stations and space shuttles are what kinds of space crafts?
Well... Space stations are space stations and space shuttles are space shuttles. They are kind of like flying cars.
What is the difference between space shuttles and space stations?
A space shuttle is the ship in which theastronauts use to get to the space station The space station is where the astronauts typically go to refuel and to stay when they r on a long mission.
Why do space shuttles land in Houston?
Space Shuttles do not land in Houston
What are the roles of space shuttles and space stations and what features do space probes have in common?
NASA has used space shuttles to perform many important tasks. These include taking satellites into orbit, repairing damaged satellites, and carrying astronauts and equipment to and from space stations. A space station provides a place where long-term observations and experiments can be carried out in space. Each space probe has a power system to produce electricity, a communication system to send and receive signals, and scientific instruments to collect data and perform experiments.
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
Do space shuttles carry astronauts?
no they do not that is space stations
How are Space Shuttles and Space Stations used?
blast off
Are astronauts and equipment launched into space mainly by space stations?
No, space shuttles
How is the universe explored from the earth and from space?
From space shuttles and space stations. Also satilites.
What is the purpose of space shuttles?
It moves things and people to and from space. That's why it's called a shuttle, because it shuttles stuff.
Does electricity work in space?
Electricity works in space because it has been proven to work on the space shuttles. Electricity has also been proven to work on the space stations.
What is the difference of a space shuttle and a space station?
space stations are a place to record data on earth and shuttles are the actual thing going in the air to explore and collect the data
What has the author Randall Segert written?
Randall Segert has written: 'Space shuttle orbiter modifications to support Space Station Freedom' -- subject(s): Space shuttles, Space stations
Space stations and space shuttles are what kinds of space crafts?
Well... Space stations are space stations and space shuttles are space shuttles. They are kind of like flying cars.
What is the Solar system's space filled with?
Basically absence... also comets, meteors, asteroids, planets, moons, satellites, shuttles and space stations, planets and moons.
