What else can I help you with?
How does the space shuttle carry enough fuel for a mission?
The space shuttle uses liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. Generally a sufficient quantity of fuel is carried but if need be re-fuelling can be done in space.
How many space shuttle has been lunce for moon?
No space shuttle has been launched for the moon. It can't carry enough fuel to get there. Couldn't land if it got there.
When the Space Shuttle was transported atop a 747 was the Space Shuttle full of fuel?
No.
The space shuttle Discovery orbits what planet?
The space shuttle discovery and any other space shuttle for that manner is only designed to orbit Earth. The space shuttle does not have enough fuel or produce enough energy to leave Earths gravitational pull. The only manned spacecraft to do so was the Saturn V rocket, built by Whener Von Braun during the 1960's.
Why can't a space shuttle go outside out the earth's orbit?
A space shuttle is not designed with the capability to travel beyond Earth's orbit due to limitations in propulsion and fuel capacity. Additionally, the primary purpose of a space shuttle is to transport astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations, rather than deep space exploration.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
What is the fuel for the rockets that carries the shuttle to space?
High octane jet fuel.
What does the Space Shuttle used to place a satellite into space?
A liquid fuel tank
What does the space shuttle use to place a satellite into space?
The space shuttle uses its payload bay to carry and deploy satellites into space. Once the shuttle reaches the desired orbit, the robotic arm or astronauts inside the shuttle release the satellite into space.
What types of fuel power the space shuttle?
fossil fuels
Why is hydrogen used in the space shuttle engine?
To fuel it and cool it
Is the weight of the space shuttle the same on earth as it is in space?
Its mass is the same(ignoring spent fuel) but the weight is a result of the gravitational pull, which is different in space. Actually the space shuttle never gets far enough from the earth for it's weight to change. The reason it seems weightless is because it is in free-fall.
