The space shuttle is a spacecraft designed to carry robots, astronauts and their equipment into space and back to earth after the exploration comes to an end. A space shuttle is made up of four major parts: the orbiter, the external fuel tank, and two booster rockets. This parts separate after the launch in three steps:
1. 1. Shuttle blast off
2. 2. Buster separation (this boosters are at the sides of the space shuttle)
3. 3. External fuel tank separation (which is under the orbiter)
At the same time, each of the four major parts are conformed by minor parts:
Orbiter: radiator panel, payload bay, orbiter landing wheels, cargo bay door, wing, elevon, rudder, body flap, main engine, orbital maneuvering engine, flight deck, containers (for experiments and food), remote control arm or robotic arm and satellite inside protective cocoon.
External fuel tank: tank for liquid oxygen and tank for liquid hydrogen.
Boosters: containers for parachute, solid-rocket booster, booster separation motors and booster nozzle.

How are space shuttles and space stations similar and different?
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.
