Why is liquid nitrogen and oxygen transported as a liquid into space?
Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Hydrogen are used as rocket fuel as it is the most effecient way to thrust rockets into space, Liquid Nitrogen is not transported into space.
Why is liquid oxygen used in space shuttle engines?
Liquid Nitrogen is used in a Space Shuttle to cool down the Space Shuttle Main Engine's (SSME) Main Combustion Chamber (MCC) because the temperatures experienced during lift exceed 3,315 degrees Celcius or 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit. If Liquid Nitrogen was not used the SSME would warp in shape and melt.
Is ammonia used in rocket engines?
No it is mainly Liquid Hydrogen and Oxygen that are used.
What are elements used in space exploration?
Oxygen,titanium aluminium,
How is powdered aluminium used in space shuttles?
Powdered Aluminum is used in a mixture with ammonium perchlorate to fuel the solid rocket boosters on the sides of the space shuttle during the first minutes of the launch. Or the Astronaut's snort it for a good time.
Why are RS-24 liquid-fuel rocket engines used in space shuttles?
The space shuttle main engines (SSME) RS 24 engines use rocketdyne liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel in the engine that is designed in such a way that the engines are reusable.
Names of space shuttles first used in 1980?
No space shuttles were used in 1980.

What is the difference between space rockets and space shuttles?
space shuttles were made to be reusable, rockets were used only once
What materials are used to make space shuttles?
What materials are used to make space shuttles?"
Was space shuttles only used for flying into space?
yes
How are Space Shuttles and Space Stations used?
blast off
What technology is used to explore space?
Space shuttles, telescopes and more
Why do shuttles need a tank of oxygen?
If you mean on lift off, liquid oxygen is used to fuel the engines to get the shuttle into space. It reacts with liquid hydrogen to create the reaction needed to produce thrust. Normal air would not provide enough oxidizer for the rapid combustion in the shuttle engines. Much smaller tanks of oxygen are used to provide a pressurized living area for the crew to live in during the course of the mission.
What spacecraft can be used more then once?
space shuttles
What are called vehicle used to fly into outer space?
the called space shuttles
Why are shuttles called shuttles?
The space shuttle is a reusable space vehicle; it goes into space and it comes back, and can be used again for futher missions into space. Whereas, previously space travel was done by rockets that could be used only once. The rockets would be used up after a single use. Shuttles, therefore, are the kind that can shuttle back and forth.
