SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: yes, a space shuttle is a spacecraft that is made for repeated space travel (unlike a rocket) for example, between earth and a space station.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because the Space Shuttle Orbiter is actually a spaceplane, it has aerodynamic characteristics very much like an airplane. That is, the lift and drag are functions of angle of attack , and, as mentioned in the previous section, the lift in the vertical plane is a function of the angle of bank as well.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Space Shuttle takes off like a rocket, orbits Earth like a spaceship, and lands like an airplane. Unlike earlier vehicles used for space travel, the Shuttle can be reused. The Shuttle has a huge payload bay in which cargo, such as a space probe, is carried into space.

Detailed explanation-4: -The space shuttle could transport satellites and other craft in the orbiter’s cargo bay for deployment in space. It also could rendezvous with orbiting spacecraft to allow astronauts to service, resupply, or board them or to retrieve them for return to Earth.
