Was there a double space shuttle launch?
No. There has never been a double space shuttle launch. The closest NASA ever came to this was scheduled for May of 1986 when 2 planetary probes were to be launched from shuttles in the same week. However, NASA has had 2 space shuttles out on the launch pads at the same time several times. First in late 1985/early 1986, and the last in 2009.
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 is the same between space rockets and space shuttle?
a space shuttle is smaller than an space rocket.
Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No. A space station stays in space, a shuttle goes back and forth between the station and the Earth.
What is the smallest space shuttle?
All the Space Shuttles are the same size.
What were the colours on the space shuttle challenger?
The same colors as every Space Shuttle, mostly dark orange, black and white.
What would 4000 megawatt hours power?
My home for ~700 years. The entire USA for ~8 hours. Here's an interesting comparison: About 4,250 space shuttle launches (if we could launch the space shuttle on electricity, and keep all other factors the same). http://scienceblogs.com/builtonfacts/2008/10/space_shuttle_electric_boogalo.php
Which is the fastest space shuttle?
They are all designed the same.
Triple earth's mass effect its orbit?
The earth's mass has no effect on its orbit. An astronaut on a "space walk" hovering over the space shuttle's cargo bay is in the same earth-orbit as the shuttle itself is, although his mass is much less than the shuttle's mass. At the same time, the shuttle and the astronaut are both in the same solar orbit as the earth is, although each of them has quite a bit less mass than the earth has.
How does the endeavor space shuttle work?
The same way as the others.
If a space shuttle takes off from earth and leaves the atmosphere and come straight down would it land in the same spot it took off from?
No! The Earth we stand on is rotating, and if a rocket were to launch straight up and come right back down the Earth would have rotated to the right and the space craft would land to the west of the launch pad.
When is the next space shuttle mission launch?
The next shuttle to launch is Discovery, flying mission STS-133.The final missions scheduled for the space shuttle program are:- Endeavor on STS-134, slated for launch 27 February 2011- Atlantis on STS-135, slated for launch no earlier than 28 June 2011, but funding is pending the passage of an appropriations bill.What_is_the_next_of_the_shuttle_that_is_flying_in_the_next_missionKennedy Space Center are opening the NASA causeway so the launch can be viewed from the 6 mile point. For those that need to see the launch it is unbelievable to view it from the NASA Causeway definitely the best place.After NASA sell out of tickets (they always do) there are 2 companies that sell tour package to the NASA causeway and they have affiliates that resell their products. Take a look at www.spaceshuttlelaunchtours.com as they price match guarantee and it seems to be the same tour product that everyone has but slightly better prices.Good luck - hope you make it out to see it!
