Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.
What else can I help you with?
Space stations and space shuttles are what kinds of space crafts?
Space stations are orbiting platforms where astronauts live and work for extended periods, while space shuttles are spacecraft designed for carrying crew and cargo to and from space stations or other destinations in space.
Do space shuttles carry humans?
Yes, space shuttles carry humans. Well in order to help with the computers. -Nicolette Espinozaaaa! ;* <3
What do shuttles do in space?
space shuttles fix all kinds off satelites they help fix any kind of spacecraft.the space shuttles have been launching since 1977 from NASA.space shuttles are very useful space craft to help fix things in outer space .by George Philip if you like space shuttles a lot there is a Lego set
How was the space shuttle different from other spacecraft before it?
Space craft prior to the space shuttles were one-time-use vehicles. The space shuttles were made to be multiple use vehicles.
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.
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
Do space shuttles carry astronauts?
no they do not that is space stations
How are Space Shuttles and Space Stations used?
blast off
Are astronauts and equipment launched into space mainly by space stations?
No, space shuttles
How is the universe explored from the earth and from space?
From space shuttles and space stations. Also satilites.
Space stations and space shuttles are what kinds of space crafts?
Space stations are orbiting platforms where astronauts live and work for extended periods, while space shuttles are spacecraft designed for carrying crew and cargo to and from space stations or other destinations in space.
What are moon stations made out of?
There are no stations on the moon. However, if we were to build one there, then the materials would have to be strong and lightweight, possibly alloys of aluminum and/or titanium. They would need to be strong to withstand impacts of micrometeors without being punctured, and light enough to transport to the moon. You can read about the Lunar Excursion Module or NASA's space shuttles and see what their structures were made of... similar materials might be used as the space shuttles face similar requirements for travelling in space.
Do space shuttles carry humans?
Yes, space shuttles carry humans. Well in order to help with the computers. -Nicolette Espinozaaaa! ;* <3
How can two orbiting satellites be joined?
the same way rockets, space shuttles and space stations join up. travel in the same direction, same orbit, similar speed and slowly approach each other

What is the difference of a space shuttle and a space station?
space stations are a place to record data on earth and shuttles are the actual thing going in the air to explore and collect the data
How was the space shuttle different from other spacecraft before it?
Space craft prior to the space shuttles were one-time-use vehicles. The space shuttles were made to be multiple use vehicles.
