Has Russia ever launched a space shuttle?
Russia was developing a space shuttle very similar to the United State's space shuttle called Buran (Russian for Snowstorm). The Buran program began in 1974 as a response to the United State's Space Shuttle program. The Russians believed that the US Space Shuttle could be a significant military threat, and had to be countered. Construction of Buran took place between 1980 and 1984. In 1988, Buran finally had its first orbital test flight. Buran was launched unmanned on an Energia rocket, and orbited around the Earth two times before doing an automated landing at the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Russia's manned launch facility). However that was Buran's only flight, and it was never flown again.
How is the space shuttle transported or moved from state to state?
It is flown back on top of a 747 from the landing site back to Kennedy Space Center.
What state is in charge of the mission once the shuttle is in space?
None. The Space Shuttle was (past tense) the property of NASA, a federal government agency. Before lift off, the shuttle was controlled by NASA at the Kenedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, just outside of Titusville. After the Shuttle cleared the tower, control was transferred to the Johnson Space Center, in Huston, Texas. Individual states had nothing to do with the space shuttle's command and control. Both space centers are the property of the federal government, and not subject to state laws; just like domestic military bases.
