I believe so.
T4's "full name" is "Enterobacteria phage T4"!
Spacecraft virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages. The typical "Spacecraft virus" that you see illustrated in textbooks is typically a T4 Bacteriophage, also called "Enterobacteria Phage T4"

The spacecraft virus is only named such because the shape of the virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages.

T4 Phage
Yes, they are known as bacteriophages, or simply phages.For example, Enterobacteria phage T4 is a phage which infects the E-Coli bacterium.Your question should be "Can a virus infect a bacterium?" Yes they can. Viruses are 10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria or in other words, they are submicroscopic parasites. They are the smallest living things known to man.
The function of bacteria is to reproduce. Bacteria is a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. They are also the cause of human and animal diseases. Some bacteria, like those in the intestines are friendly and needed for digestion.
Bacteriophage is the name given to a virus that infects bacteria. The name is frequently abbreviated to 'phage'. T4 phage is subject to a wide variety of experiments because it infects E. coli, and E. coli is one of the safer, more abundant and best understood bacteria to study.
Lysogenic is when the virus enters and binds into the hosts DNA and one could replicate slowly or two when the virus sense the host cell is about to die, the virus will go into lyic cycle and replicate and kills the host cell.

This type of virus is a bacteriophage. It attacks bacteria. The T4 bacteriophage attacks E. coli.
