SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -NASA uses rockets and spacecraft to send humans into space. Some spacecraft go where humans cannot travel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Shuttle History Each space shuttle is named after influential ships of science and exploration. All were built in Palmdale, Calif., by Rockwell International. Enterprise was the first space shuttle, although it never flew in space.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Space Shuttle program (SSP) plays a vital role in enabling NASA’s vision and mission. This includes advancing human exploration and providing safe access to space in support of human operations in low Earth orbit. The Shuttle’s primary role is to complete the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS).

Detailed explanation-4: -The cargo/payload weighed up to 29, 000 kg (65, 000 pounds), depending on the desired orbital inclination. The Orbiter payload bay doors, which were constructed of graphite epoxy composite material, were 18.3 m (60 ft) in length and 4.5 m (15 ft) in diameter and rotated through an angle of 175 degrees.

Detailed explanation-5: -United States four-person (initially seven) Earth orbital spacecraft designed by SpaceX to transport astronauts to the International Space Station under the NASA Commercial Crew Contract (CCDev). As of April 2022, Crew Dragon has made 7 crewed spaceflights. Crew Dragon is capable of operating beyond Earth orbit.

Detailed explanation-6: -A nuclear-powered shuttle or ferry using the NERVA engine, to move crew, spacecraft and supplies between low Earth orbit and lunar orbit, geosynchronous orbit, or to other planets in the solar system. A crew module derived from the space station module would be used to send humans to the Moon or Mars.
