The International Space Station (ISS) was launched in 1998.
So they can find where they are going, like the ISS
Astronauts typically travel to the International Space Station (ISS) using a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or American SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft launch from Earth and dock with the ISS, where astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the station.
The shuttle does not immediately go to the ISS, but 'parks' in earth orbit for a time during which the shuttle is checked for damage and equipment is also tested and organized. They gradually catch up with the ISS in a complex process of orbital mechanics. The docking occurs approximately two days after launch.
The International Space Station (ISS) was built over a span of more than a decade, starting with the launch of the first module in 1998. Construction continued until 2011 when the assembly of the station was completed.
Belgium's contribution to the International Space Station (ISS) includes providing specialized equipment and technology, such as the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) instruments for solar science research. Belgian astronauts have also participated in ISS missions. Additionally, Belgian researchers and scientists collaborate with international partners on various experiments and projects conducted on the ISS.

I mean in microgravity
well it shows scientists that there are more spots on the ISS
they train
Microgravity research, ISS component delivery, satellite launch, ferrying astronauts to space stations & satellite repair.
To see how the environment and the launch would affect it.
Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson answered this question which was asked of her by students of the Texas School for the Deaf. She explained that it only takes 8 minutes to get into space from the time of launch, but that it takes 3 days to get to the ISS.

It is possible, but scientists will not be sure until they launch a probe to make an in-depth investigation of Titan.
intentionally launch nuclear weapons against it.
