How fast does the space shuttle travel during launch?
about 11.2 kilometers per second to leave earth it takes 5 kilometers per second to leave mars
In what year did the second space shuttle launch?
Space Shuttle Challenger (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-099) was NASA's second Space Shuttle orbiter to be put into service, Columbia being the first. Its maiden flight was on April 4, 1983, and it completed nine missions before breaking apart 73 seconds after the launch of its tenth mission, STS-51-L on January 28, 1986, resulting in the death of all seven crew members.
How long before docking to the iss does the space shuttle have to start slowing down to make a safe docking?
During launch the space shuttle speeds up to 17500 MPH. In orbit the space station is going about the same speed. So the shuttle does not have to slow down much. At docking the relative speed of the ISS and shuttle is about 1-2 inchs per second.
What was the second space shuttle?
Space Shuttle Challenger.
What is the name of the second space shuttle?
Space Shuttle Challenger.

What did Newton's second law of motion describe?
It describes how an object will react to a force.

What speed does the space shuttle go during launch?
"Yes in space it goes 25000 km/h or 18000 m/h , but exact moment when the space shutle launches is slow, around 160km/h or 108m/h,after one minute it goes around 1600 km/h or 1000 m/h and so on."Not counting other factors such as air resistance, and only looking at acceleration, you'll see for the first minute the shuttle experiences an aver g force of 1.7.We'll use the first minute only, as an example, as after the first minute, the air density lessons significantly.So you'll get an acceleration of 0.7 g's, after you negate the earths 1g.A g is the force you feel when accellerating at about 10 meters per second, or about 35km/h. At 0.7 g's is about 7m/s or 24.5 km/h.So, roughly at :-one second after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 24 km/h.-two seconds after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 48 km/s.-ten seconds after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 245 km/h.-one minute after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 1470 km/h.Leaving_Jupiter
How is motion describe when the velocity of an object changes by the same amount each second?
That is called constant acceleration.
What was the 2nd space shuttle in space?
Second space shuttle in space was Challenger, but second space shuttle ever was Enterprise, what was made for testing in atmosphere.
When was the first space shuttle launched?
The first space shuttle, Columbia, was the first shuttle launched into space on April 12, 1981. Prior to this, the shuttle Enterprise had performed flights to test various capabilities of the shuttle within earth's atmosphere. Enterprise was not designed for space flight.
Second space shuttle to orbit th earth?
The second Shuttle into orbit was the Challenger; the first was Columbiachallenger, June 1983
Who was the female astronaut killed on lift-off?
There were two onboard the Challenger space shuttle which was destroyed during launch in January 1986 when the external tank exploded 73 seconds after lift-off. They were mission specialist Judith A. Resnik (on her second shuttle flight) and Christa McAuliffe, who was to have been the first teacher in space.
