Space Shuttle Spaceship and rocket Carrot Space Shuttle The?Space Shuttle?was a crewed, partially reusable?low Earth orbital?spacecraft?operated by the U.S.?National Aeronautics and Space Administration?(NASA). Its official program name was?Space Transportation System, taken from a 1969 plan for?a system of reusable spacecraft?of which it was the only item funded for development. Spaceship Spaceship A?spacecraft?(or?spaceship) is a vehicle, vessel or machine designed to?fly in outer space. Spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including?communications,?earth observation,?meteorology,?navigation,?planetary exploration?and transportation?of?humans?and?cargo. On a?sub-orbital spaceflight, a spacecraft enters?space?and then returns to the surface, without having gone into an?orbit. For?orbital spaceflights, spacecraft enter closed orbits around the?Earth?or around other?celestial bodies. Spacecraft used for?human spaceflight?carry people on board as crew or passengers from start or on orbit (space stations) only, while those used for?robotic space missions?operate either?autonomously?or?telerobotically.? Robotic spacecraft?used to support scientific research are?space probes. Robotic spacecraft that remain in orbit around a planetary body are artificial?satellites. Only a handful of?interstellar probes, such as?Pioneer 10?and?11,?Voyager 1?and?2, and?New Horizons, are currently on trajectories that leave our?Solar System. Orbital spacecraft may be recoverable or not. By method of?reentry?to Earth they may be divided in non-winged?space capsules and winged?space planes. Rocket A?rocket?is a?missile,?spacecraft,?aircraft?or other?vehicle?that obtains?thrust?from a?rocket engine. Rocket engine exhaust is formed entirely from?propellants?carried within the rocket before use.? Rocket engines work by?action and reaction. Rocket engines push rockets forward simply by throwing their exhaust backwards extrem
