NASA is working on the development of the Orion Spacecraft which will be the vehicle for the next phase in space exploration. The Orion will be able to travel to the moon and land, which is something the space shuttles were not capable of doing. Orion missions are planned for the Moon and Mars, and possibly some near Earth asteroids.
NASA will also continue using standard heavy lift rockets for unmanned missions.
What else can I help you with?
When the next is scheduled Space Shuttle Lunch?
NASA does not use spac shuttle any more
What does NASA use the space shuttle for?
The space shuttle is NASA's space transportation system, designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from Earth orbit. The first space shuttle flight took place in 1981. The space shuttle fleet is scheduled to be retired in 2011. When the shuttle program ends, the space shuttle will have been launched on more than 130 missions. :):):):):)
How do you use space shuttle in a sentence?
The space shuttle was the first reusable launch vehicle developed by NASA. Despite two fatal accidents caused at launch, the space shuttle proved a reliable orbital vehicle.
Why is nasa stopping the use of the shuttle?
NASA is canceling the Space Shuttle program for several reasons. Firstly, there have been 2 space shuttle disasters, leaving 14 astronauts dead. Both accidents were caused by human error and severe problems with NASA management over the space shuttle program. Secondly, the space shuttle is not a very safe vehicle. There have been many close calls on past shuttle missions that could easily have led to catastrophes. The space shuttle is still largely an experimental vehicle with new problems and safety issues being discovered. Thirdly, there is no viable method for space shuttle crew members to escape in the event of an accident. Though Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo all had emergency escape systems, the space shuttle's crew escape system can only be used in a very small percent of circumstances, but in most emergencies the crew would have no chance of survival. Lastly, the shuttle program is expensive. It costs an average of $450 million dollars and many months of training to prepare each shuttle launch.
What type of spacecraft does NASA currently use?
NASA currently uses a variety of spacecraft, including the Orion spacecraft for crewed missions, the SpaceX Dragon for cargo resupply to the ISS, the Perseverance rover on Mars, and the Hubble Space Telescope for astronomical observations.
When the NASA space shuttle quit?
NASA space shuttle quit cause the wanted to make and improve there shuttle before use of them
What is the disadvantage of a space shuttle rather than a rocket?
The dissadvantage of the current NASA Shuttle program is that it is outdated. Some of the shuttles still use 8track tapes, so it is cheaper to retire them and bring in a new system instead of update them.
When the next is scheduled Space Shuttle Lunch?
NASA does not use spac shuttle any more
Did nasa use castrol high performance grease on the space shuttle for the mars mission?
yes

When is NASA launching it's last rocket?
The Space Shuttle program ends with the final launch in June 2011, but there is currently no plan or schedule to terminate NASA's other research activities, which include the use of other space vehicles and probes.
who the shuttle in space break?
The Space Shuttle was a reusable spacecraft developed by NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. It was used for a variety of missions including launches into low Earth orbit and repair and maintenance of the Hubble Space Telescope. The Space Shuttle was retired in 2011 and no longer in use. None of the Space Shuttles broke in space.
What type of spacecraft does NASA currently use?
NASA currently uses a variety of spacecraft, including the Orion spacecraft for crewed missions, the SpaceX Dragon for cargo resupply to the ISS, the Perseverance rover on Mars, and the Hubble Space Telescope for astronomical observations.
Can you use the image of the NASA shuttle for free is it public domain?
It depends on who created the images. Most government published documents and photos are automatically in the public domain because they are taxpayer funded. In some cases however they will hire private photographers who will retain the copyright to future use of their pictures.No- NASA hold's copyright
What will nasa use after the space shuttle program ends this year and project constellation might also be being cut what are thay going to do?
Lots of options. Once everyone stops being bitter about the cancellation of constellation (with good reason) NASA will be using Russian spacecraft for a short time, before hopefully using commercial spacecraft to reach the ISS. But for at least a decade NASA will be without its own spacecraft, entirely reliant on their old rivals or on the private sector, a far cry from the Apollo missions.
