When the space shuttle takes off, the astronauts experience 9 times the normal force of gravity on earth.
At launch the gravity that they experience is about 1.7 g's and by the time the solid rocket boosters are separated which is two minutes into the launch the g-force will be over 2 g's. At the separation of the solid rocket booster, the g-force will decrease to just over 1 g. During the last one minute of the ascent, which is for 8.5 minutes, when the main engines ignited the last full minute, we will experience about 3 g's, and when the main engines cut off around 8 minutes, 30 seconds, you go right into zero-g and everything starts to float around.

What happens after the shace shuttle takes off?
After the space shuttle takes off, it goes into outer space. The astronauts in the space ship keep in contact with the people in case they need help, but are on their own for the most part.
How fast does a space shuttle go when it takes off?
Any space shuttle takes of at 80 th 90 miles per hour that's fast
The Space Shuttle takes off like a ............flies around the earth like a........... and lands like an?
the space shuttle takes off like a rocket flies around the earth like a bird and lands like an airoplane
How long will it take to get to the International Space Station?
It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.
What happens when the space shuttle takes off and moves away fromm earth?
It masses increases and the weight increases

How does a space shuttle contribute to space?
a space shuttle blasts off to space containing people and other organisms or devices. we discovered space through a telescope, and explored it with a space shuttle.

There is a maximum of 3 G's during the shuttle launch.
