What are the 3 phases of a space shuttle flight?
The three phases of a space shuttle flight are launch, on-orbit operations, and re-entry and landing. Launch involves liftoff from Earth, on-orbit operations refer to activities while the shuttle is in space, and re-entry and landing entail the shuttle returning to Earth and landing safely.
When was the last space shuttle landing?
The last space shuttle landing was by Space Shuttle Atlantis on July 21 at 5:57 a.m. EDT.
What is the name of the last space shuttle?
The last planned space shuttle was the Atlantis
What was the name of the last Space Shuttle Mission?
Atlantis was the last space shuttle, But the mission was STS-135
Who was the last American to fly solo space?
Who was the last NASA Astronaut to fly solo in orbit? Gordon Cooper was the last astronaut to be launched solo on a rocket from earth into earth orbit on the mission Mercury Atlas (MA)-9 in 1963. He flew the last Mercury spacecraft to be placed in orbit, named "Faith 7". David Scott was the last astronaut to fly solo in Earth orbit on Apollo 9 in 1969. He flew the Command/Service Module named "Gumdrop". Ronald Evans was the last astronaut to fly solo in lunar orbit on Apollo 17 in 1972. He flew the Command/Service Module named "America". All subsequent orbital spaceflights have carried at least two astronauts (10 Gemini missions, first four Space Shuttle missions). A commercial rocket/spacecraft, Spaceship 1, was flown to the edge of space, an altitude of 112 km (60 miles) and zero velocity, and did not fly in orbit, by pilot Brian Binnie, in 2004.
How long does it take an astronauts to go from earth to space?
It varies, but the last shuttle mission hit orbit about 12 minutes after launch.

If it were possible to have a fully fueled space shuttle with its boosters and external tank in Earth orbit how fast could it go if it launched?
the space shuttle always, no matter what, has a maximum speed of 18,000 mph. the shuttle takes 17,500 mph to reach orbit. because of more fuel, it wouldn't go faster, it would just last longer.
What is the name of the Space Shuttle launched into orbit for the last time from the Kennedy Space Station in July 2011?
Atlantis
What is the last space shuttle mission called?

Which famous space telescope circles the earth every 90 minutes?
There are several space telescopes now in orbit, but the Hubble Space Telescope is the only one in a 90-minute orbit. This low orbit was selected so that it would remain reachable by the Space Shuttle. The original plan, when Hubble was launched, was that one of the later Shuttle missions would pick up the Hubble at the end of its service life and return it to Earth, possibly to be placed in the Smithsonian museum. Unfortunately, the Shuttle program is ending early, and with the last maintenance mission, the Hubble can remain in service for several more years. So there will be no way to retrieve Hubble and return it to Earth. It will probably be de-orbited and crashed into the ocean by about 2018. Fortunately, other more powerful space telescopes are being prepared for launch now, and some, like the Spitzer Space Telescope, are already in space.
When will the last space shuttle launch as of 2011?
The last space shuttle launch was originally planned for early 2011, but it was delayed to July 8, 2011. The Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-135) was the final shuttle mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program before the fleet was retired.
