What else can I help you with?
How do astronauts communicate outside the space shuttle?
They use radios built in their space suits.
What does a space shuttle sound like in space?
There is no air in space and because of that, the noise it makes can not transmit elsewhere. The sound it makes is well noticeable inside the craft though. Sound moves through the materials the shuttle is built from and then it starts transmitting these sounds into the air on board, and this noise is very well audible. I am sorry to say, but I can not explain the sound it actually makes. maybe there is something on Nasa homepage regarding this.
Does sound travel faster in vacuum than solid?
Sound needs something to move through to exist and cannot exist in a vacuum. Sound, as we HEAR it, is fluctuation in air pressure. If there is no air, there can be no sound. If you played your stereo at full blast with the speakers facing the wall inside the space shuttle, an astronaut outside would not be able to hear it because there would be no air to transmit the sound. Sound travels faster in liquids and non porous solids than it does through air. It travels slower in dry air than it does in humid air.
What is the outside shield of a space shuttle called?
The outside shield of a space shuttle is called the Thermal Protection System (TPS). It is designed to protect the spacecraft from the extreme temperatures experienced during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
Why do Astronauts that are working outside the space shuttle require an audio speaker in their helmet?
NASSS
Where is Buran?
A total of five Burans were planned. Space Shuttle 1.01 Space Shuttle 1.02 Space Shuttle 2.01 Space Shuttle 2.02 Space Shuttle 2.03 -Space Shuttle 1.01 was the only Buran to fly in space; it was destroyed in the Baikonur Cosmodrome hanger collapse in 2002. -Space Shuttle 1.02 is the only surviving Buran, it is extremely difficult to find its location or photos of it. Shuttle 1.02 was 95%-97% complete, requiring only the installation of some computer software. Space Shuttle 1.02 was located in a the MIK building at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, though it may have been moved because a photo was taken of it outside mounted on an Energia Booster. Speculation has resulted from the photo because this Buran was never documented to attached to an Energia. -Space Shuttle 2.01 was 30%-50% complete when the Buran program was canceled. It is currently stored at an aviation museum in Sinsheim, Germany. -Space Shuttle 2.02 was 10%-20% complete at the end of the program. It was put outside of the factory near Moscow and vandals have stripped it of most of the heat tiles. -Space Shuttle 2.03 was just started at the end of the program. It was dismantled.
What was the last space shuttle ever built?
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
The first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?
We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.
What is the name of the american space shuttle that goes into orbit?
There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
What is is the speed of the space shuttle?
Mach 5, 5 times faster than the speed of sound!
What was the name of the space shuttle in The Challenger disaster?
The name of the space shuttle was Challenger.
