The shuttle was not in fact a rocket. The craft is based on the dynamics of an aeroplane. The shuttle was fired in to orbit attached to a rocket engine. Once there to had small maneuvering jets to facilitate guidance. Only on its return was a larger engine fired to allow the timely reentry protocol to initiate its decent in to the Earths atmosphere. It landed in the customary fashion on a runway and was, unlike a space capsule of previous years used again on the next mission.
What else can I help you with?
What makes the space shuttle different from other rockets?
Reusability.
How is the space shuttle different from rockets?
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft that can launch like a rocket but can also land like an airplane. Rockets are typically one-time use vehicles that are not designed to return to Earth intact. Additionally, the space shuttle can carry astronauts and cargo to space, whereas rockets are mainly used for payload delivery.
Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
How did the space shuttle try to move in space?
The shuttle moved by the use of thruster rockets.
Can the space shuttle fly to the moon?
No, the space shuttle was designed for missions in low Earth orbit and did not have the capability to fly to the moon. The Apollo missions, not the space shuttle, were responsible for sending humans to the moon.

How space shuttle is different from rocket?

What was used to fly to space before a space shuttle?
Multi Stage Rockets.
How do astronauts ge to space without a space shuttle?
Now, NASA launches rockets. The Space Shuttles were lied into retirement in 2011. The Space Shuttle was invented in the '80s. NASA has been launching rockets since the '50s!
What are the names of the rockets?
Apollo, Ariane, Soyuz, Space Shuttle.
How does a shuttle get into space?
A shuttle, like the Space Shuttle, gets into space by being launched into the atmosphere with the help of powerful rockets. The rockets provide the necessary thrust and speed to overcome Earth's gravity and carry the shuttle into orbit around the planet. Once in orbit, the shuttle can maneuver and travel to its destination in space.
How much more space shuttle flights are there going to be?
The space shuttle program ended in 2011, so there are no more planned space shuttle flights. NASA has shifted its focus to other spacecraft and rockets for future missions to space.
