How many space shuttle flights has NASA flown?
As of the end of February 2010, NASA has flown 130 space shuttle flights, two of them ending in catastrophe.
Where is the NASA space shuttle program located?
NASA's (National Aeronautics and Space Administration's) Space Shuttle Program (SSP) has been retired following the end of the last space shuttle mission, STS-135 (Space Transportation System 135), which landed in the pre-dawn darkness hours of Thursday, July 21, 2011 (coincidentally, the day after the 42nd anniversary of the first Moon landing) at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) (runway) at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. All ten NASA centers played some kind of a role and provided support for every space shuttle mission and for the operations of the Space Shuttle Program as a whole, however the Space Shuttle Program office was located at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Space Center (JSC) at Houston, TX.
What is the next space shuttle going to look like?
there isn't going to be a next space shuttle- the shuttle program is set to end in the middle of 2010
Why NASA space shuttle end?
Because the costs for manufacturing it was expensive.And traditional rockets had positive points .
What is after the shuttle program?
The end of the shuttle does not mean the end for NASA. They are developing new technologies that will take us beyond low earth orbit. Including the SLS, a new way to take us to the space station and maybe deeper. They are also developing new ways to transport astronauts to deep space, including the MPCV. This capsule was originally designed for the Consttellations program but since the thing was cancelled they will be using it differently.
How many spaceships NASA owns?
As of this writing, NASA has only three (3) working SPACESHIPS (as opposed to total number of SPACECRAFT owned or operating), the space shuttle orbiter vehicles, OV-103 Discovery, OV-104 Atlantis and OV-105 Endeavor.However, NASA has previously announced its plan to "mothball" the costly space shuttle fleet following the STS-133 shuttle mission to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. The shuttle Discovery is slated to blast off in September 2010 on the eight-day trek that - if NASA's current plan holds - will mark the end of the shuttle era after 29 years of spaceflight.NASA's lower-cost replacement for the space shuttle fleet has been dubbed Project Constellation.
Where is Buran?
A total of five Burans were planned. Space Shuttle 1.01 Space Shuttle 1.02 Space Shuttle 2.01 Space Shuttle 2.02 Space Shuttle 2.03 -Space Shuttle 1.01 was the only Buran to fly in space; it was destroyed in the Baikonur Cosmodrome hanger collapse in 2002. -Space Shuttle 1.02 is the only surviving Buran, it is extremely difficult to find its location or photos of it. Shuttle 1.02 was 95%-97% complete, requiring only the installation of some computer software. Space Shuttle 1.02 was located in a the MIK building at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, though it may have been moved because a photo was taken of it outside mounted on an Energia Booster. Speculation has resulted from the photo because this Buran was never documented to attached to an Energia. -Space Shuttle 2.01 was 30%-50% complete when the Buran program was canceled. It is currently stored at an aviation museum in Sinsheim, Germany. -Space Shuttle 2.02 was 10%-20% complete at the end of the program. It was put outside of the factory near Moscow and vandals have stripped it of most of the heat tiles. -Space Shuttle 2.03 was just started at the end of the program. It was dismantled.
