How much fuel does space shuttle burns per minute on launch?

about 98,348 gallons per minute of all fuels used combined.


What year did the space shuttle explode 1 minute in to launch?

The space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986.


What part of the shuttle drops off after takeoff on a space shuttle?

The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.


Have there been any space shuttle accidents?

There have have been two catastrophic ones: Challenger, and Columbia. Challenger had a damaged O-ring on one of the SRBs (solid rocket booster) which led to the explosion of the liquid fuel tank and the destruction of the shuttle just over a minute after launch. Columbia broke apart on re-entry due to a damaged heat shield tile which was struck by a piece of insulation on take-off.


What speed does the space shuttle go during launch?

"Yes in space it goes 25000 km/h or 18000 m/h , but exact moment when the space shutle launches is slow, around 160km/h or 108m/h,after one minute it goes around 1600 km/h or 1000 m/h and so on."Not counting other factors such as air resistance, and only looking at acceleration, you'll see for the first minute the shuttle experiences an aver g force of 1.7.We'll use the first minute only, as an example, as after the first minute, the air density lessons significantly.So you'll get an acceleration of 0.7 g's, after you negate the earths 1g.A g is the force you feel when accellerating at about 10 meters per second, or about 35km/h. At 0.7 g's is about 7m/s or 24.5 km/h.So, roughly at :-one second after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 24 km/h.-two seconds after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 48 km/s.-ten seconds after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 245 km/h.-one minute after launch the shuttle has a velocity of 1470 km/h.Leaving_Jupiter
