What else can I help you with?
Why the US space shuttles were built?
The US space shuttles were built to provide a more cost-effective and reusable way to transport astronauts and cargo to space, with the goal of making space missions more routine and accessible. They were also intended to help build and maintain the International Space Station.
How many space shuttles have orbited earth?
Probably more than ten.
How do space shuttles aid space exploration?
Space shuttles are not directly involved with space exploration. A space shuttle is only designed to be able to deliver supplies and cargo to Low earth orbit and back. The only way that the space shuttle helps with space exploration is by doing missions to set up and repair space telescopes, which can be used to learn more about about the universe.
What direction does NASA launch space shuttles?
NASA launches space shuttles eastward from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launching towards the east takes advantage of the Earth's rotation, providing an additional push that helps the spacecraft reach orbit more efficiently.
When were other shuttles launched and why?
Other shuttles in the US space shuttle program were launched from 1981 to 2011. These launches were conducted to deploy satellites, conduct scientific research, and assemble the International Space Station. Each shuttle mission had specific objectives, such as deploying communication satellites, conducting space experiments, or transporting astronauts and cargo to and from the ISS.
Why do you have space shuttles?
The question is a little moot, since we don't have space shuttles any more.
What spacecraft can be used more then once?
space shuttles
Is NASA creating another space shuttle?
No. Space shuttles are Too Dangerous: Challenger and Columbia, RIP. NASA is going to build a new rocket to send people in to space, but, there will be no more space shuttles.

Are there any more space shuttles getting launched into space?
No. One exploded and two are out of use. I helped. There. I feel good.
What was the space shuttles name?
There's more than 1, Enterprise is the most well known
Why NASA stopped launching space shuttles?
Because if they keep making them it will just cost more money. They are actually very old technology. The money they are spending on the shuttles could be spent on a better way to get anyone into space.

What was invented from going into space?
putty was originally used as glue for tools in space to stick them to the shuttles surface, also we now understand alot more about the physics of the universe from going into space
