Why do space shuttles have solid rocket boosters?
to beat gravity of the earth
How many solid rocket boosters does the space shuttle use?
Each shuttle used 2 solid-fuel rocket boosters, which were designed to be recovered and re-used.
How did people get the space shuttle in space?
The space shuttle was lifted into space by means of the rockets fueled via the Solid Recovery Boosters (SRB's) and the large External Tank.
How and why will the mass of the whole space vehicle change while the space shuttle is in orbit?
Provided noting is removed form the Shuttle, its masswill not change wheather on the ground or in orbit.
What part of the space shuttle is reused?
The orbiter, the airplane looking part, and the solid rocket boosters are reused. However, the SRBs (solid rocket boosters) have to be completely dismantled and almost totally rebuilt.
What is a engine used on a spaceship?
There are actually two types of boosters that were both used by the space shuttle before their decommission. To propel the vehicle out into space from the surface of the earth out past the atmosphere, the shuttle used SRB's, or Solid Rocket Boosters. The engines on the actual shuttle are LRB's, or Liquid Rocket Boosters. These are used to propel the space vehicle further into space and into orbit around the earth.
What are rocket boosters?
The engines for the space shuttle.
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
What is separated in space or time?
Distance is separated in space or time.
What separated in space or time?
Distance is separated in space or time.
What is separated space or time?
Distance is separated in space or time.
What are space shuttles designed for?
The space shuttle is a space vehicle designed to carry five to seven crew members into space. It is made of four components namely, external tank, two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) and one orbiter.The orbiter is reuseable as well as the SRBs. The external tank is lost in space.
How many external boosters propel the space shuttle into orbit?
two
Why do space shuttles have solid rocket boosters?
to beat gravity of the earth
How does space shuttle get into space?
By the use of it's three Main Engines and two Solid Rocket Boosters.
How the space shuttle moves up as its boosters are ignited?
This is simple, after the first stage boosters are ignited, and separation occurs, the pilots will let the shuttle drift, then once right-side up, they will ignite the boosters in the back, obviously making them go faster and go where ever they need to. After there mission in space is done, they will face Earth, ignite the boosters, and land on a 100+ mile stretch!
Where are space boosters located?
Under shuttle , fixed to the main fuel tank.
