Space craft prior to the space shuttles were one-time-use vehicles. The space shuttles were made to be multiple use vehicles.


What is difference between a rocket and space shuttles?

Rockets are vehicles designed to propel themselves into space by expelling exhaust gases at high speed, typically using a single-stage or multi-stage design. Space shuttles, on the other hand, are a specific type of spacecraft that combine both rocket and glider elements; they are designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from orbit while being reusable. While rockets can be used solely for launching payloads, space shuttles have the capability to return to Earth and land like an airplane. Essentially, all space shuttles are rockets, but not all rockets are space shuttles.


What is the Difference between space-shuttle space -probe spacecraft?

A space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft designed for human spaceflight, carrying astronauts to and from space. A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore other planets, moons, or asteroids without carrying humans. Spacecraft is a general term that encompasses both manned (space shuttles) and unmanned (space probes) vehicles designed for space exploration.


Do shuttles carry people?

Yes, shuttles are commonly used to transport people, especially in airports, hotels, and other large venues where a convenient and efficient people-moving solution is needed. These shuttles are usually small buses or vans that can accommodate multiple passengers at once.


When were other shuttles launched and why?

Other shuttles in the US space shuttle program were launched from 1981 to 2011. These launches were conducted to deploy satellites, conduct scientific research, and assemble the International Space Station. Each shuttle mission had specific objectives, such as deploying communication satellites, conducting space experiments, or transporting astronauts and cargo to and from the ISS.
