Unlike the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which carried sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries, a permanently orbiting space station will have to generate its own electricity.

The idiom is: Like X, Y does. X and Y should exactly parallel to each other. In the question, we mean to contrast different kinds of aircrafts: "the shuttle and earlier spacecraft"(=X) and "a permanently orbiting space station"(=Y). In choice A, X=the short flights(the actions of some old aircrafts), it is not exactly parallel to Y(=some new aircrafts).
