In fact, as the Shuttle is accelerating, the astronauts are experiencing not only the pull of gravity, but also the acceleration of the rocket. For the comfort of the crew, they try to keep the excess gravity to about 4 G, basically 4 times the pull of gravity.
Only after the engines have stopped, and the shuttle is no longer accelerating, will the astronauts feel weightless, as the Shuttle and astronauts are all falling around the Earth at the same speed.
What else can I help you with?
Where do astronauts launch there space shuttles from?
Astronauts launch their space shuttles from various locations, including Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. Each space agency has its own designated launch site for launching space shuttles.
What are future missions for astronauts?
Currently Nasa is planning to launch shuttles to the moon and mars as well as upgrades to the ISP.
Where did the astronauts stay during launch and reentry in Apollo?
Astronauts stayed inside the Apollo Command Module during launch and reentry. This module was attached to the Saturn V rocket during launch and detached for reentry to bring the astronauts safely back to Earth.
Are astronauts weightless in a space shuttle during the launch?
During the launch, astronauts in a space shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness for a short period due to the force of gravity being canceled out by the acceleration of the shuttle. However, this weightlessness is not the same as the zero gravity experienced in orbit, as it is a result of the shuttle's motion rather than being in a true microgravity environment.
Where does the Canadian Space Agency launch shuttles from?
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
How many space shuttles have exploded at take off or re entry?
There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
How many Gs do astronauts experience during space shuttle launch?
Around 4
What is the G-force experienced by astronauts while the rocket escapes earth's gravity into outer space?
During a rocket launch, astronauts can experience up to 3-4 times the force of gravity (3-4G) depending on the rocket and mission profile. Once the rocket reaches outer space and escapes Earth's gravity, astronauts experience microgravity, where they feel weightless and are in free fall around the Earth.
How many more shuttles are going to launch?
there is going to be one more shuttle launch.
Do astronauts launch in a decade?
No. They launch in a space vehicle.
Did anyone travel in space in a rocket or did all space travel occur in space shuttles?
Both rockets and space shuttles have been used for space travel. Rockets are typically used to launch spacecraft into orbit, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to and from space. Many astronauts have traveled in both rockets and space shuttles over the years.
What are the straps called that astronauts wear in the spacecraft?
The straps that astronauts wear in the spacecraft are called harnesses. They are designed to keep astronauts secure and in place during launch, landing, and in case of emergencies.
