Nasa shuttle launch
NASA Shuttle Launch , officially called Space Transportation System STS, is the United States government's current manned launch vehicle .When its mission is complete, the shuttle can independently move itself out of orbit using its Maneuvering System (it orients itself appropriately and fires its main OMS engines, thus slowing it down) and re-enter the Earth atmosphere.Its missions involve carrying large payloads to various orbits (including segments to be added to the International Space Station ), providing crew rotation for the International Space Station, and performing service missions,NASA planned to replace the shuttle with the Orion pacecraft, but budget cuts have placed full development of the Orion craft in doubt.
