Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than in a space shuttle
Niether
they are both in space
No. It is a satellite.
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.
The Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station (ISS) during its missions. The shuttle used a docking mechanism called the Orbiter Docking System to connect with the ISS.
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.
