What are the advantages of a space shuttle when it goes into space or even when it is getting ready to do a launch into space?

The space shuttle's reusable design allows it to launch, travel to space, return to Earth, and be prepared for launch again efficiently. Its large payload capacity enables the transportation of astronauts, cargo, and satellites to space in a single mission. Additionally, the space shuttle's ability to maneuver in space and deploy and repair satellites makes it a versatile spacecraft.
