Then after spending decades building the ISS the US cancelled the space shuttle the vehicle originally intended for transport to the ISS as part of its post-Apollo programme.

Since the space shuttles retired in 2011 NASA has been contracting with private firms to deliver cargo and soon hopefully astronauts to the space station.

#The next Space shuttle: Hybrid Engines Make Runway-To-Orbit Missions A Reality A disembodied jet engine attached to a hulking air vent sits in an outdoor test facility at the Culham Science Center in Oxfordshire England.

Sabre has the unique ability to use oxygen in the air rather than from external liquid-oxygen tanks like those on the space shuttle Strapped to a spacecraft engines of this breed would eliminate the need for expendable boosters

By comparison the space shuttle which required an external fuel tank and two rocket boosters took about two months to turn around (due to damage incurred during launch and splashdown) and cost $100 million.

NASA and Lockheed martin meanwhile had their own plans for a fully reusable spacecraft the Venturestar intended as an affordable replacement for the partially reusable space shuttle.

And yes the Space shuttle was a huge drain on resources but was unfortunately necessary for the completion of the ISS as we were too deep into them both to cancel the programs.

so light for its size it will not get as hot as other re-entry vehicles like the space shuttle (1100k vs 2000k).

Since the end of the Space shuttle program in 2011 NASA ASTRONAUTS have been hitching rides on Russian Soyuz rockets.

even if we are still very far away from the glory days of nationally funded Apollo or Space shuttle.

Nasa used the same stuff to power the Space shuttle. f there is leak, the hydrogen is

With a few key changes, the researchers used a noninvasive ultrasonic technique originally developed to detect microscopic flaws in solid fuel rockets, such as space shuttle boosters,

#NASA test-fires shuttle engine for SLS rocket A former space shuttle engine roared to life Thursday in Mississippi, billowing steam from a Mississippi stand during a nearly nine-minute test firing.

PEMFC are leading candidates to power the space shuttle and other mobile applications even down to mobile phones,

both X-37bs could fit inside the payload bay of NASA's now-retired space shuttle orbiter.

as the space shuttle did. The secrecy surrounding X-37b missions has led to speculation in some quarters that the craft is some sort of space weapon that it's designed to inspect and/or cripple hostile nations'satellites, for example.
