Nasa space program

In the last decade, NASA has been making some serious progress with private companies SpaceX and Boeing toward sending astronauts to space from U.S. soil once again.

Space shuttle, partially reusable rocket-launched vehicle designed to go into orbit around Earth, to transport people and cargo to and from orbiting spacecraft, and to glide to a runway landing on its return to Earth’s surface. It was developed by NASA and made 135 spaceflights between 1981 and 2011.
