Why does a space shuttle use a parachute after landing?
The space shuttle uses a parachute after landing to slow down its descent and help it come to a controlled stop. The parachute reduces the impact force on the shuttle and allows for a safer landing for astronauts and equipment onboard.

How does a space shuttel land on earth?
The Space Shuttle lands like a plane. First the space shuttle gets its landing trajectory and what AFB or Air Force Base to land at. The Space Shuttle can land at Cape Cod in Florida or at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Space Shuttle then loops around the earth a few times and then turns around to face forward. Then the Space Shuttle goes into a De-Orbit Burn this is the approach to earth the Space Shuttle faces up ward at 60 degrees so the heat shield is facing down. The Space Shuttle is now flying at Mach 26 or 100,000 mph. Soon the Shuttle re enters the atmosphere producing the loud Double Boom while the shuttle flies over the pacific the US can often hear it. Soon the shuttle applies air brakes to slow down to Mach 2.5 or 2,500 mph. Then comes the next stage of approach the Shuttles Computers are shut down for landing as the Pilot lines up the Shuttle for the run way which is 22 at Edwards and 0 at Cape Cod the Shuttle makes one more Double Boom. Soon the Shuttle fly at the speed of a jet. Last comes the final landing the copilot calls out altitude and speed as the space Shuttle lines up jet escorts help the Shuttle land soon at about 2,000 ft the gear gets dropped down and the Space Shuttle lands at 250mph to slow down the Shuttle apply brakes a parachute and Air Brakes to stop on the Run Way steps help the Astronauts get out of the Shuttle. If the Shuttle lands at Edwards a modified Boeing 747 flys the Shuttle back to Florida.
How do you launch a parachute in Kerbal Space Program?
To launch a parachute in Kerbal Space Program, you need to first ensure that the parachute is attached to your craft by placing it in a stage with a lower number than your decouplers or engine stages. When you reach the desired altitude, press the spacebar or manually activate the parachute through the staging menu to deploy it.
How does a space shuttle stop in space?
Retro burners. Retro meaning opposite or backward. After burner is forward or ahead of you. They fire the thrusters to slow down or even stop. But really, who knows what stop is if we have no real reference? But if your talking about Earth as the reference, my statement is otherwise correct.
When did space shuttles stop landing in the ocean?
The space shuttles stopped landing in the ocean in 1981. In response to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, which occurred in 1986, all subsequent shuttle missions landed on the runway at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
What would happen to a burning candle if you put it in the space shuttle?
It would stop burning if there was no oxygen.
When did they stop using the Explorer space shuttle?
They never used Explorer. It was built as a replica to allow people to see inside a Space Shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. It has since been moved to Houston.
How can a person stop a space shuttle from getting burned when entering the earth?
The said person would have to place aeronautics-grade heat absorbing tiles on the shuttle.
Why are space shuttle speeds necessary?
in order not to stop plummet to earth vaporize and cause small scale Armageddon
How does the parachute at the back of the car help the speeding car to slow down and stop quickly?
It increases air drag.
Why dont space shuttles have propellers?
Propellers only work in a thick atmospheres, so at a certain height they stop working. This would make it impossible for the space shuttle to go into outer space.
