-- An object being launched to go to 'outer space' doesn't need to go around the
Earth in order to get there. That's done sometimes, just to give ground controllers
a chance to check things out and make sure it's ready for the long part of the trip,
but it's not a necessary part of the process.
-- The Space Shuttle wasn't designed for 'outer space', and never went anywhere
except around the Earth.
-- The Space Shuttle doesn't even do that much any more. The last Shuttle mission
flew in 2011, and all of the remaining Shuttles are in museums now.
What else can I help you with?
How often does the space shuttle circle Earth?
It takes 90 min to go around the earth in space.
Why must the space shuttle go so fast?
The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.
How fast can a space shuttle go?
A space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,164 kilometers per hour) when in orbit around the Earth. This velocity allows the shuttle to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and remain in a stable orbit around the planet.
What was the name of the first space shuttle to ever go into outer space?
The Columbia it was launched by NASA on April 12, 1981. It became the first shuttle to orbit (circle around) Earth.
How long will it take a Space Shuttle to go from Earth to Mercury?
It can't. And there's no way to redesign it so that it can, all the shuttle can do is to go up to low Earth orbit and come back down.
Do you go outerspace in Pokemon emerald?
no
How long does it take for the space shuttle to get to the moon?
The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.
How long does it take for a shuttle to get to the moon?
The Space Shuttle does not go to the moon. It only orbits the Earth.
How far from earth did the shuttle go into orbit?
At 347 miles above the Earth to the orbit of the Hubble Telescope. The shuttle is an orbit only craft and cannot go into deeper space or visit the Moon or planets. It is now being retired and NASA are returning to an Apollo style rocket since 14 astronauts have been killed in Shuttle explosions and it is just too dangerous.
How does a space shuttle escape the earth orbit?
The shuttle never leaves Earth orbit, it simply goes into orbit and then returns. Moving to a higher orbit requires additional speed and manuevering, as when visiting the ISS.
If you do ecstasy can you go to outerspace?
That is the stupidest Q ever you can not
Why do people go to outerspace?
To explore and gain information
