2. The International Space Station is designed to let astronauts stay for about ______.
A. 6 months
B. 1 year
C. several years

Answer 3

Obviously, I think you should do your research.
But I think not too much research is required; just go to their website.

I'm afraid that I'll give you a wrong answer, so I won't give what I think is right.

Answer 4

i think i figured out the answers

Answer 5

1. is C i think and 2 is A i think

Answer 6

thnk u for ur hlp

Answer 7

I don't think the space shuttle delivered satellites. Satellites are usually launched with their own rocket. The space shuttle took astronauts to the space station and on repair missions to Hubble, etc.
Maybe their website will mention satellites I wasn't aware of.

Answer 8

oh okay

Answer 9

The Space Shuttle definitely delivers satellites. For example the Hubble.

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program#Shuttle_applications

The ISS can support astronauts for several years (it has been occupied for over 11 years straight now. These 11 years consisted of several crews, not one person.) A typical mission lasts for about 6 months due to the effects zero gravity have on the human body, particularly the muscles.

Answer 10

Google it out friend!!

Answer 11

lol i did

Answer 12

Oh! Thanks eashmore. I didn't know the space shuttle delivered Hubble.

Answer 13

Indeed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope

There have been a couple of missions to repair and update the Hubble as well. Interestingly enough, one time a repair was made on some insulation using Parachute Cord. Simple, creative solutions to difficult problems. Gotta love it.
