What is the large open area of a space shuttle which is used to hold satellites and scientific equipment?

The large open area of a space shuttle used to hold satellites and scientific equipment is called the cargo bay. This is where various payloads can be stored and deployed during a mission.


How is a space shuttle more economical to fly than earlier rockets?

Space shuttles were designed for reuse, allowing multiple missions with the same hardware. This reduced the cost per launch compared to single-use rockets. Additionally, the shuttle's ability to carry large payloads and a crew to space in a single mission increased efficiency and reduced costs.


What are the advantages of a space shuttle when it goes into space or even when it is getting ready to do a launch into space?

The space shuttle's reusable design allows it to launch, travel to space, return to Earth, and be prepared for launch again efficiently. Its large payload capacity enables the transportation of astronauts, cargo, and satellites to space in a single mission. Additionally, the space shuttle's ability to maneuver in space and deploy and repair satellites makes it a versatile spacecraft.


What is the part of a shuttle that carries the payload?

Payload is carried in the Space Shuttle's Payload Bay. The payload bay is situated behind the crew cabin, in the middle of the orbiter. It is 60 ft long and 15 ft wide. The payload bay has two large doors that open once the shuttle reaches orbit. On the inner side of these doors are radiators which help cool the shuttle. Inside the payload bay, there are latches to hold satellites, space station components, experiments, and other objects in place. The payload bay also holds the space shuttle's remote manipulating system (RMS), KU-band antenna, and several cameras and lights. The space shuttle is capable of carrying about 65,000 pounds of cargo in the payload bay.
