Space shuttles used to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida or at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The space shuttle program has been retired, and modern spacecraft like SpaceX's Crew Dragon now land in the ocean off the coast of Florida.
The space shuttle that landed on the moon was called Apollo. The Apollo missions were a series of manned missions conducted by NASA during the 1960s and 1970s, with Apollo 11 being the first to successfully land astronauts on the moon in 1969.
No, the space shuttle was not designed to land on the moon. It was designed for missions in low Earth orbit and did not have the capability for a lunar landing. The Apollo program used specialized spacecraft to land on the moon.
No, the NASA space shuttle did not land on the moon. The space shuttles were designed for low Earth orbit missions and were not capable of making the journey to the moon. The Apollo missions were responsible for landing astronauts on the moon.
Can it land in the ocean... well, yes, but not without probably killing all the occupants and breaking up. It's designed to land on a (very long) landing strip and not on water. There's talk that the space shuttle replacement may be designed to land on water.
No, the Space Shuttle was designed to operate in the Earth's atmosphere and would not be able to withstand the extreme conditions on Venus, including its thick atmosphere and high temperatures. Additionally, the Shuttle's thermal protection system is not designed for such a mission.
The Space Shuttle has to be landed manually.
No space shuttle has ever been to Jupiter
The last space shuttle landed July 21, 2011.
The first shuttle that went into space was the Space Shuttle Columbia. It made a total of 28 missions. The shuttle was commanded by pilot John Young who was the first one to land it as well.
It is the shuttle land like a normal glider?
The space shuttle would not be able to land on an Aircraft carrier. It needs a lot longer runway.
The Space Shuttle doesn't land in the ocean it lands on a runaway.
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
Enterprise, it did not fly in space though, it was released from a 747 just to see how well it would land Colombia was the first to come out of space and land at Edwards...this was also the first space flight of a space shuttle

It doesn't. It lands on a runway.
STS-3 was NASA's third Space Shuttle mission, and was the third mission for the Space Shuttle Columbia. It launched on 22 March 1982, and lasted eight days. STS-3 was the first shuttle launch with an unpainted external tank, and the only mission to land at the White Sands Space Harbor nearLas Cruces, New Mexico
