Powdered Aluminum is used in a mixture with ammonium perchlorate to fuel the solid rocket boosters on the sides of the space shuttle during the first minutes of the launch.
Or the Astronaut's snort it for a good time.
Liquid oxygen is used in space shuttles as an oxidizer for the spacecraft's fuel, typically liquid hydrogen. When mixed and ignited, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen create a powerful and efficient chemical reaction that generates the necessary thrust for the shuttle to break free of Earth's gravity and enter space. It is a highly efficient and reliable propellant choice for space missions.
Aluminium is light and strong. It is used extensively in the manufacture of planes, space shuttles also in the building industry. It is more expensive than steel to manufacture so steel is still used extensively where weight is not a problem.
Elements used in space exploration include rockets for propulsion, spacecraft for transportation, satellites for communication and observation, rovers for planetary surface exploration, and spacesuits for astronaut protection. They are all crucial components in enabling missions to explore and study outer space.
Aluminium gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) is a semiconductor compound made of aluminium, gallium, and arsenic. It is commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as lasers and solar cells, due to its unique properties like bandgap tunability and high electron mobility. AlGaAs is often used in applications that require precise control over the properties of the material for enhanced performance.
The finely white powdered gypsum used to make paper is called calcium sulfate dihydrate or simply, gypsum.
The space shuttles that were first used in 1980 were Columbia and Challenger. Both space shuttles were part of NASA's Space Shuttle program and conducted various missions until the Challenger disaster in 1986.
space shuttles were made to be reusable, rockets were used only once
Aluminium is used in the airframe of the space shuttle due to its light weight and high strenght. The problems with aluminum is that it is susceptible to fatigue and it requires shielding from heat for high temp applications

yes
Space shuttles are primarily made of aluminum alloys, reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC) for the heat shield, and thermal protection tiles. The external fuel tank is made of aluminum and the solid rocket boosters use a combination of aluminum, steel, and composite materials. Various other materials such as titanium, ceramics, and specific polymers are also used in different components of the space shuttle.

the called space shuttles
Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.
Currently... Space Shuttles and a Space Station which is not a vehicle per se.
Six space shuttles have landed on the moon. The space shuttles, however, were a part of the Space Shuttle program and were not designed to operate on the moon’s surface. They were primarily used for missions in low Earth orbit.
There has been 128 launched and only 1 has failed so.....127.
