What are manned satellites?

Manned satellites are spacecraft that are designed to carry astronauts into space and support human presence in orbit. They can be used for activities such as scientific research, space exploration, and servicing of other satellites. Manned satellites provide a platform for humans to live and work in space for extended periods of time.


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.
