No space shuttle was ever called Apollo. Apollo was the name of the 3rd American space program. The number one objective of the Apollo program was to send man to the surface of the moon and return him safely to Earth, before the end of the 60's. Five shuttles were built for orbital flight: Columbia, Discovery, Challenger, Atlantis and Endeavour. Columbia and Chanllenger both exploded for different reasons killing all 7 astronauts aboard each time. Two other shuttles were built for tests: Pathfinder and Enterprise. There are also Russian space shuttles Buran and Pitchka (Pitchka was 97% complet when the project was cancelled).
What else can I help you with?
What are some names of famous space shuttles?
All the shuttles: Enterprise (Not Flown into space) Columbia Challenger Discovery Atlantis Endeavor
Names of all the shuttles which have been involved in moon missions?
None have ever been outside low earth orbit. The moon is too far
Can you safely launch and return space shuttles?
No. Some Apollo missions got held down on overheat. Apollo 14 missed and failed the mission. Also, Apollo 14 got crashed, but ran down to a %17 air tank! It landed safely on the crust of the Earth. But in space, it had suspension problem and the boosters turned back to %30 turbo.
How many space shuttles exist right now?
There are currently no space shuttles in operation. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011 after the final mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Some shuttles, such as Discovery and Endeavour, are on display at museums, while others, like Enterprise, were used for testing and were not space-faring shuttles.
What are all of the space shuttles names in the world?
Some of the space shuttles that have been used in space programs around the world include NASA's Space Shuttle fleet (e.g. Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour), the Soviet Union's Buran, and China's Shenzhou.
Why do you not use space shuttles?
They have been decommissioned- they are obsolete, so to speak. Some are scheduled to go to space museums.
What are some of the new technologies proposed by scientists help humans travel faster through space?
space shuttles
What is a mode of transportation into space?
Some common modes of transportation into space include rockets and space shuttles. Rockets use powerful engines to propel spacecraft beyond Earth's atmosphere, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that launch like a rocket and land like an airplane. Both of these vehicles are used to carry astronauts and cargo into space for missions to the International Space Station or beyond.
What technology have you gotten from space shuttles?
Some technology that has been derived from space shuttles includes advancements in materials, satellite technology, robotics, and life support systems. These innovations have found applications in various industries such as healthcare, communication, and transportation, leading to improvements in everyday life.
What are some things named after Apollo the god of the sun?
Some things named after Apollo, the god of the sun in Greek mythology, include NASA's Apollo space program, the Apollo Theater in New York City, and the Apollo asteroid group.
What is a list of space shuttles?
Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.Enterprise was an early shuttle but was only used within the atmosphere primarily to test the landing procedure.
What is the purpose of space shuttles and space stations?
Scientists are still exploring exactly what can be done in outer space and how we can do it, so mostly the space shuttles and space stations have been used for research about weightlessness, vacuum, and other aspects of being in outer space. Space certainly has some very solid practical applications already, such as communications satellites and global positioning satellites, and one of the functions of space shuttles has been to put satellites in their orbits (although there are also other ways of putting satellites into orbit) and in some cases, to repair satellites that are already in orbit.
