A lot of astronauts have served on the International Space Station. Supplies of food and other necessities are brought for the astronauts. As the space station is still undergoing construction, additional parts and modules are brought up to it. A lot of experiments are done on it, so equipment and necessary materials to conduct those experiments are brought to the space station.
The space station is not too far out of the Earths atmosphere so they just send up a space shuttle!
they send people to space or by the space station
some do it depends why they send it
The cost to send the space shuttle to the space station varied, but estimates range from around $450 million to $1.5 billion per mission. This includes the cost of fuel, maintenance, and operational expenses.
No, all remaining Space Shuttles have been retired and are now in museums across the country.
A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.
Because the space station is in such a bad orbit for US spacecraft to launch to, it takes about 2 days in space for the shuttle to rendevous with the space station. The space station was built by the US & Russians, spacecraft from both countries had to be able to send supplies up on a regular basis, so the orbit of the ISS is difficult for the shuttle to reach.
The goal of Space Shuttle Atlantis, like the other space shuttles in the fleet, was to transport astronauts and cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS), deploy satellites, conduct scientific research, and assemble and repair components of the ISS. Its missions helped further our understanding of space and contributed to the advancements of science and technology.
Scientists send a variety of items to the International Space Station to test the effects of microgravity, including plant seeds, bacteria, cells, and even small animals like mice. These experiments help researchers understand how living organisms respond to space conditions and how microgravity affects biological systems.
No, the Salut 1 was not the first space station. The first space station was the Soviet space station Salyut 1, which was launched in 1971.
A space station is a satellite.
It is named the International Space Station or ISS.
