Detailed explanation-2: -A: The Space Shuttle orbits the Earth at an altitude of 120-300 miles. We fly the shuttle to the ISS where we dock and continue work onboard the station. In the past we have taken the shuttle to the Russian MIR space station, and we have used it to visit the Hubble Space Telescope for on-orbit repairs.

Detailed explanation-3: -We launch satellites and spacecraft into space by putting them on rockets carrying tons of propellants. The propellants give the rocket enough energy to boost away from Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Space Shuttle is the world’s first reusable spacecraft, and the first spacecraft in history that can carry large satellites both to and from orbit. The Shuttle launches like a rocket, maneuvers in Earth orbit like a spacecraft and lands like an airplane.
