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.
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.
Currently Nasa is planning to launch shuttles to the moon and mars as well as upgrades to the ISP.
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.
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.
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
Around 4
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.
there is going to be one more shuttle launch.
No. They launch in a space vehicle.
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.
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.
