Does the Earth's rotation affect a space shuttle launch?
Yes. It is harder for a Space Shuttle to break through the Earth's atmosphere when it's going against the rotation of Earth.
How many G's does the space shuttle do at launch?
The space shuttle experienced about 3 G's (3 times the force of Earth's gravity) during launch. This force occurred as the shuttle accelerated into space to overcome Earth's gravity.
Why does it take less fuel to launch a space shuttle from moon than from earth?
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
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.
Does Drilling deep into the earth affect the earth's daily rotation?
No
Does daylight savings affect earth rotation?
yes! first it will affect you!
How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
How many times has the space shuttle launched from earth?
As of the 10th of April 2010, there have been 131 space shuttle launches.
How would the implementation of wind power affect the rotation of the Earth?
The implementation of wind power would not significantly affect the rotation of the Earth. Wind power involves harnessing the energy from wind to generate electricity, which does not have a significant impact on the Earth's rotation.
How does rotation affect rotation?
When the earth moves, the sun is left behind, so half of the earth is not facing the sun. Dumbo
What part of the space shuttle circles earth?
The space shuttle orbiter orbits the earth. The solid rocket boosters are jettisoned within the earth's atmosphere, around two minutes after launch and the External Fuel Tank is jettisoned once in space.
Does the space shuttle always take off up the east coast?
No, the space shuttle launch site was located at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which is on the east coast of the United States. The shuttle typically launched eastward over the Atlantic Ocean to take advantage of the Earth's rotation for added velocity.
