-- You called them "different weights", so they're different.
-- In an orbiting space shuttle, nothing has any weight, whether it's a bottle of
water or the whole steel frame of the shuttle itself. So all weights there are the
same ... namely, they are all zero.

What is a orbiting space shuttle?
An orbiter.
Why do objects in orbiting space shuttle float?
No Gravity.
Is the hubble space telescope a space station or a space shuttle?
Neither. The space station is an orbiting laboratory with living spaces. A shuttle takes astronauts to the space station and back to earth. The Hubble is an un-manned orbiting observatory.
What gravitational effects do you experience in an orbiting space station?
None. Inside the space shuttle is regulated.
Which measurement best represents the distance of the orbiting space shuttle from Earth?
300 Kilometers
How is a space probe different from a space shuttle?
a space shuttle is re-usable
Why should the government continue to finance the space shuttle program?
Yes, because the space shuttle was NASA's space transportation system. It carried astronauts and cargo to and from Earth orbit. The space shuttle carried as many as seven astronauts at a time to and from space. It launched satellites and served as an orbiting science laboratory.
How fast does an orbiting space shuttle go?
About 18,000 mph. The exact speed depends on the exact orbital height. If the orbit is not circular the speed will vary in different parts of the orbit.
What is the difference in the space shuttle and other spacecraft?
how is the space shuttle different form other spacecraft
Why does the space shuttle need rocket thrusters when its orbiting the exosphere?
Firstly, the lower boundary of the exosphere is 600km so the Space shuttle would have no need to be orbiting in the exosphere. Most of the time the space shuttle missions are to the ISS which orbits at a height of 370km. This is in the Thermosphere (approx 100km - 600km). The purpose of its thrusters are to aid in takeoff, docking with satellites, and reducing its speed to begin re-entry into earth's atmosphere.
Why did they name the the space shuttle after Apollo?
The Space Shuttle and the Apollo spacecraft were two different programs. The Space Shuttle, also known as the Shuttle Transport System, or STS, was not named after Apollo.
How is travelling in a space shuttle different from traveling in an airplane?
the space shuttle travels vertically and the plane horizontally
