the space shuttle weighed as much as roman
It cost an average of around 450 Million Dollars to launch a Space Shuttle. Also, the Space Shuttle itself can cost 1.7 Billion Dollars.
Easy calculation. Pick a star, look up the distance, divide that by 18,000 mph. (speed of the shuttle)
forwards It is always traveling around the Earth in the same direction as we are rotating, but much faster. The space shuttle when in space can point in any direction, as there in no up and down. It still keeps moving in the same direction, even with engines facing forward.
At the gift shop in the National Space Center in Leicester England you can get a bag of space ice cream, or space strawberrys for £1.50 a bag.Every space center is different and concessions charge various prices.Actual space food sent up in the shuttle is very expensive since research and development costs are astronomical.
The fuel used by the main space shuttle engines is super-cold liquid hydrogen, kept at a temperature of -253oC. The hydrogen fuel is combusted with liquid oxygen in a reaction that reaches temperatures of up to 3136oC to creates a high-speed stream of gas which ultimately generates the thrust necessary for launching the shuttle. This gas stream is essentially just very hot water steam with no CO2.
200,000 pounds
1000 pickles
it weighs 890 kg
The Endeavor space shuttle weighs 296,576 pounds.
150lbs. So it can be safely flown by a airplane.
The Space Shuttle weighs 165,000 pounds empty and with the Shuttle, external tank, solid rocket boosters and all the fuel combined the total weight is 4.4 million pounds. The Shuttle can also carry a 65,000 pound payload.
The first functional shuttle ever to be produced was the Columbia in the year 1981. This shuttle was designed and invented by NASA and not by any single person. Plans to invent the Space Shuttle began even before the Apollo Lunar Missions in the year 1969.The main concerns at that point were logistics; how much the shuttle would cost and how it was to be built. Hope this helps.
The Space Shuttle weighed 74,843 kilograms empty.
The space shuttle takes approximately 1 month to reach space.
the space shuttle Columbia exploded as it was entering earth's atmosphere. it got up to a normal temperature of 2800 degrees F (1300 C) but the wheels got much to hot just around Texas about 15 minutes to landing and eventually burnt up. unfortunately all 7 astronauts died.
The average cost of a space shuttle mission is $450 million
Canada does not have a space shuttle, making the question moot.
