How has space shuttle travel revolutionised space travel?

Space shuttle travel revolutionized space travel by providing a reusable spacecraft that could carry astronauts and cargo to space, then return to Earth for refurbishment and reuse. This reusability significantly lowered the cost of space missions and made it more accessible. The shuttle also facilitated the construction of the International Space Station and enabled crucial scientific research and technological advancements in space exploration.


How far can a space shuttle travel?

There is no gravity therfore it will travel forever slowly speeding up and eventually travelling at 99.999% of the speed of light, if this object collides with another it will create a big bang


What is the difference between a space station and the space shuttle?

A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.


Is the hubble space telescope a space station or a space shuttle?

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope, not a space station or a space shuttle. It was launched into space in 1990 and orbits the Earth, capturing images of the universe. The telescope has provided valuable insights into the cosmos and has been serviced multiple times by space shuttle missions.


How long does it take to get to the space shuttle to the space station?

It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit and then rendezvous with the International Space Station, which orbits approximately 250 miles above Earth.

How long will it take to get to the International Space Station?

It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.


Did the space shuttle discovery make it to the moon?

No. The Space Shuttle were built for near Earth obital missions.


How long does it take for the space shuttle to get to the moon?

The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.


How long space shuttle takes to back earth from international space station?

What are the roles of the space shuttle and the space station in the space program?

The ISS and shuttle programs were designed as a stepping stone to interplanetary travel. The programs test the ability of humans to endure long periods of exposure to living in space and conduct experiments on long term affects of space travel. Space travel to other planets would be best initiated outside the earths atmosphere and the Space Shuttle, as the name implies is the vehicle designed to transcend earth's atmosphere with equipment, supplies and astronauts.


What is the name of the space shuttle at the moment in space?
