🚀 A shuttle is a spacecraft designed for transporting astronauts, equipment, and supplies between Earth and space. It combines the capabilities of a rocket for launch and reentry with the ability to carry a crew and cargo. The shuttle's iconic shape resembles a sleek, aerodynamic vehicle with a pointed nose cone and wings that help it glide back to Earth for a runway landing. Its powerful engines propel it into orbit, where it can dock with space stations or deploy satellites. The shuttle revolutionized space exploration, enabling humans to conduct research, repair satellites, and build the International Space Station.
