When was the NASA shuttle landing facility built?
The NASA shuttle landing facility was built in 1983. The first time the landing was used was in February 1984.
When did space shuttles stop landing in the ocean?
The space shuttles stopped landing in the ocean in 1981. In response to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, which occurred in 1986, all subsequent shuttle missions landed on the runway at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
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.
How was an Apollo landing on Earth different to a space shuttle landing?
An Apollo landing involved a capsule re-entering Earth's atmosphere for a water landing, using parachutes to slow its descent. In contrast, a space shuttle landing was a controlled glide to a runway on land, using wings to navigate and land like an airplane. The space shuttle also had the ability to be reused multiple times.
When did they shut down the NASA space shuttle program?
The last space shuttle mission was STS-135 (Space Transportation System 135) which landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) (runway) of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida in the pre-dawn darkness hours of Thursday, July 21, 2011 (coincidentally, the day after the 42nd anniversary of the first Moon landing). Although this was the last space shuttle mission, the Space Shuttle Program (SSP), albeit drastically scaled back, continued in limited operation to allow for the decommissioning of the orbiters and their eventual transportation to museums for public display.
Are there anymore space shuttle landings?
Unfortunately there are no more space shuttle launches or landings. The last space shuttle landing was by Space Shuttle Atlantis on July 21 at 5:57 a.m. EDT.
How was an Apollo landing on earth different to space shuttle landing?
a shuttle has wheels an Apollo has no wheels

What are the three of space shuttle flight?
Launch, orbit, and landing.
Why space shuttle slow its speed on landing?
Because landing at 25,000 km/h is impossible.
What is the last space shuttle mission called?
The last space shuttle mission was STS-135
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Why does a space shuttle use a parachute after landing?
The space shuttle uses a parachute after landing to slow down its descent and help it come to a controlled stop. The parachute reduces the impact force on the shuttle and allows for a safer landing for astronauts and equipment onboard.
