How does a shuttle get into space?
A shuttle, like the Space Shuttle, gets into space by being launched into the atmosphere with the help of powerful rockets. The rockets provide the necessary thrust and speed to overcome Earth's gravity and carry the shuttle into orbit around the planet. Once in orbit, the shuttle can maneuver and travel to its destination in space.
What reusable vehicle that goes into like a rocket and then glides back to earth like an airplane?
The U.S. Space Shuttle rockets into space with the help of booster rockets and it returns to earth as the worlds largest glider. The Russians have a similar shuttle called Boran, but I don''t know if it was ever used.
Is a space shuttle a rocket?
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft. It has 3 main engines powered by liquid fuel which are used to launch it into orbit with help from similarly reusable solid fuel boosters (the white rockets along the side of the shuttle during launch). When returning after a mission, the space shuttle is unpowered and glides back for a landing. See related question.
What is the scientific notation for the space shuttle?
The velocity of a space shuttle is 8 x 10^3 meters/seconds. Does that help?
How do rockets help us?
Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
What are interesting rocket facts about kids?
Rockets are often painted with bright colors and fun designs to appeal to kids. For younger children, interactive exhibits about rockets can help teach them about space exploration in a hands-on way. Kids can build and launch their own model rockets as a fun and educational activity.
Why do space shuttles have solid rocket boosters?
Solid rocket boosters provide additional thrust during liftoff to help launch the space shuttle into orbit. They are also more cost-effective and reliable than liquid-fueled rockets. Additionally, the boosters can be jettisoned after use, contributing to the shuttle's overall efficiency.
How do rockets do today?
Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
How does a parachute help stop the space shuttle?
It increases the amount of drag, since the space shuttle doesn't have thrust reversers like an airliner would.
Why is black pannels use on the space shuttle?
They are thermal heat protection tiles. They help the Space Shuttle withstand 3,000+ F during reentry.
What will rockets be used for in the future?
Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
What does it use to help the space shuttle get to space?
A power called thrust and Newton's 3rd law of space which states that there is an opposite reaction. the rocket fuel goes down which pushes the space shuttle up.
