How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?
More information on Space Shuttlehttp://www.onestopsolver.com/space-shuttle-orbit-flight-path.html
How far can a astronaut go into space in the space shuttle?
115 to 400 miles above the Earth.
What are the forces like when a space shuttle leaves the earth?
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV
How far away is the space shuttle from the earth?
Usually within 250 miles
Compare to the distance to the moon how far away is the space shuttle when in space from the earth?
The moon is at an estimated distance of 320 000 km from the Earth. The shuttle is on average 350 km form the surface of the earth... that means that the moon is about 915 times further away from the Earth then the space shuttle!
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.
Has the moon ever been hit by a space shuttle?
No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.
How fast does in Miles per hour does the space shuttle go?
If a space shuttle travels at 17,500 (mph) (highest recorded time so far) well; you work it out!
How far can a space shuttle travel?
There is no gravity therfore it will travel forever slowly speeding up and eventually travelling at 99.999% of the speed of light, if this object collides with another it will create a big bang
Why does gravity not pull on a space shuddle?
The space shuttle is in a state of free fall around Earth, following an orbit, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling it down. This allows the space shuttle to remain in a stable path without being pulled down by gravity.
How does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
The space shuttle orbits the Earth by launching into space and achieving a specific speed called orbital velocity, which allows it to balance the gravitational pull of the Earth with the inertia of its forward motion. Once in orbit, it remains in a continuous state of free fall, constantly falling towards the Earth due to gravity but moving forward fast enough to miss the planet.
How far away from Venus is earth?
About 15 years away.
