Is a space shuttle flown in the exosphere?

Since the exosphere has no specific end, and it is almost into orbit, then yes. When a space shuttle reaches orbital velocity, it is going to fly past the exosphere. A space shuttle has never attained escape velocity that I know of. It is certainly capable, though. Also, a space shuttle can be flown in the exosphere without ever reaching orbit in some conditions. (i.e. if they launch at JFK in Florida and land at Edwards Air Base in California, because the earth moves counterclockwise. They could only be up there for a very short time, however.)


Most famous space shuttle?

The most famous space shuttle is the Space Shuttle Challenger, mainly because of the tragic disaster that occurred in 1986 when it exploded shortly after liftoff, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members on board. The Challenger disaster had a profound impact on the space program and led to a reassessment of NASA's safety protocols.

What was the first shuttle into space and when?

The first flight was STS-1 by the shuttle Columbia, April 12-14, 1981. It was commanded by John Young (Gemini astronaut in 1965 and 9th man on the moon in 1972) and flown by pilot Robert Crippen, on his first trip into space. (Arguably, they were the most different duo ever to launch into space.)

What device is Canada's most significant contribution to all of the space shuttles?

The Canadarm (technically called the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System) is used to lift and manipulate satellites, parts, and other equipment from the payload bay of the shuttles to their correct position. It is also sometimes used to move an astronaut to another part of the outside of the space station or shuttle.


Which state has the most space shuttle launches?

Florida


What pieces of equipment have actually flown through and studied most of the solar system?
