Space Shuttle Connect the Dots

This is the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is a reusable rocket that carries people and satellites into space. The Shuttle is launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The shuttle has three parts: the Orbiter, the External Tank, and the Solid Rocket Boosters. The Orbiter looks like an airplane and is about the same size as a DC-9 airplane. The Orbiter has a Cargo Bay which can hold the Spacelab module or satellites to be carried into space. The Spacelab is a laboratory where astronauts conduct experiments to find out how life is effected by weightlessness. (Print this page and connect the dots) The answer to this connect the dots here!
