Space Shuttles A space shuttle is a reusable space craft. First used in 1981. Able to land on an ordinary airfield. Two shuttle tragedies in 1987 and 2003. Shuttles replaced the previous method of space flight – Rockets and capsules. www.assignmentpoint.com

What Did the Space Shuttle Do? The space shuttle did many things. It could carry up to seven astronauts at a time. The space shuttle was like a moving van. It took satellites to space so they could orbit Earth. The shuttle carried large parts into space to build the International Space Station. www.assignmentpoint.com

How Did the Space Shuttle Launch and Land? The space shuttle launched like a rocket. But it landed like a glider airplane. The solid rocket boosters and the main engines on the orbiter helped the shuttle blast off from Earth like a rocket. The two boosters dropped off the shuttle two minutes after launch. They fell into the ocean. A special boat picked the boosters out of the ocean. They were used again for another flight. The external tank dropped off the orbiter after it had used all the fuel in the tank. The external tank would burn up over Earth. So the tank could not be used again. www.assignmentpoint.com

What Were the Parts of the Space Shuttle? The space shuttle was made of three main parts: the orbiter, the external tank and the solid rocket boosters. The orbiter was the part that looked like an airplane. The orbiter flew around Earth. The astronauts rode and lived in this part. NASA had five orbiters. The names of the orbiters were Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery and Endeavour. www.assignmentpoint.com

The Future Exploration at greater distances Extended stays Humans need to be ready and educated for the space travel of the future www.assignmentpoint.com

Some Difficulties Include Radiation exposure Lunar dust Food and Nutrition Exercise Differing levels of pressure, atmosphere composition, and gravity Sleep loss Risk of bone fracture Reduced muscle mass Reduced aerobic capacity Mental disorders arising from extreme, confined, and isolated conditions www.assignmentpoint.com
