How did the astronauts go from the command module to the lunar module?
They got out in space and climbed into the command module. The top of the crafts connected together in space. I wonder how it was possible though, because their suits were so big and it was enough room for the life support units on their back. This answer below is not the correct answer to your question. The command module and lunar module have a docking bay, the Lunar module at the top of the module itself and the command module at the peak of the cone. the command module is the only part of the command/service module and lunar module that actually returned to earth. The lunar modules were jetisoned after the linkup from the lunar excursion and eventually crash landed on the moon. the service module, once separated from the command module burned up on reentry into the earth's atmosphere when the Earth's gravity caused it's orbit decayed enough. Most of the command modules for the Apollo Lunar Missions are housed in the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington, DC and Dulles, VA. although there are a few in other places (Houston, Florida).
What spacecraft does NASA commonly use?
It depends on what your definition of "spacecraft" is vs NASA's definition. NASA considers anything flying in space to be a spacecraft. However, many not in the Aerospace industry only see launch vehicles (the formal term used to describe vehicles that carry men and machines into space) as spacecraft.For launch vehicles, aside from the Space Shuttle (formally known as Orbiters or Orbiter Vehicles) NASA routinely uses many different types of launch vehicles, U.S. made and those of other space agencies that NASA works with.Some of the more current common launch vehicles that NASA has commonly used or is considering for use in the future are:Manned Flight Launch VehiclesSpace Shuttle Discovery (OV-103)Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104)Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105)The Space Shuttle incorporatesSolid Rocket Boosters (SRB's) and the External Main Tank (EMT), which holds a volatile mixture of liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and other extremely toxic propellants, are also considered as part of launch vehicle system.Un-Manned Launch VehiclesUnited StatesNASA Ares I-X Rocket (2009)Orbital Sciences Taurus RocketOrbital Sciences Minotaur RocketUnited Launch Alliance Delta II RocketUnited Launch Alliance Delta IV RocketUnited Launch Alliance Atlas V RocketEuropean Space AgencyAriane RocketVega RocketJapan Space AgencyH-2 RocketNASA launch centers are:Kennedy Space Center - Space Shuttle, Launch Pads 39A and 39BCape Canaveral Air Station (on Merritt Island across the causeway from KSC)Vandenberg Air Force Base (between San Francisco and L.A.)Wallops Flight Center (Chincoteague, VA)The individual launch centers are responsible for the launch vehicle and its payload up until the mission clock starts, which is when the countdown ends and the vehicle is launched, sending the clock into a positive count denoting mission start. At that time, responsibility for the vehicle and payload shifts to the individual mission control center. For examples, the Space Shuttle is controlled from Mission Control in Houston, Texas; Mars missions and deep space probes are controlled from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California; The Hubble Telescope is controlled from Johns-Hopkins University in Columbia, Maryland.Past NASA Launch Vehicles:Redstone-Atlas Rockets (Mercury Missions)Gemini-Titan Rockets (Gemini Missions)Saturn V (Apollo Moon Missions)Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099)Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101)Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102)There is a plan now to phase out the Shuttle in 2010 for use as a taxi service between the ground and the ISS, with the responsibility for that going to the Russians. After working for 9 years for NASA in both Manned and Un-Manned Flight Programs, I can honestly say that nothing worries me more for the future of the U.S. Space Program. The Russians have historically been late on everything they do, and over-budget to boot. They are one of the main reasons the ISS was delayed for so long in getting off the ground.NASA plans to replace the Space Shuttle with the Orion Spacecraft, which is based on the Apollo moon vehicle design. It is currently in development.
