What space shuttle launched in August 1984?

Space Shuttle Discovery launched in August 1984 on its ninth mission, designated STS-41-D. The primary objective of this mission was to deploy three communication satellites into orbit. It was the first mission to have two female astronauts on board.


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.


What was the purpose of the space shuttle?

The space shuttle was designed to be a partially manned reusable launch and reentry system, transporting astronauts to and from space. Each shuttle was designed to handle at least 100 missions.


What did Marc Garneau do in space?

As the first Canadian in space, Marc Garneau flew on the space shuttle Challenger in 1984 and again in 1996 on the space shuttle Endeavour. During his spaceflights, he conducted various scientific experiments and helped deploy satellites.
