What is the difference between the space shuttles and other space vehicles?
The space shuttle lands like a plane and is reusable.
What is spaceshuttle?
The space shuttle is the Modern day rocket that carries astronauts into space. It looks like a plane.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a space plane?
A space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft with wings and a tail for controlled re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, while a spaceplane is a vehicle that takes off and lands like an airplane and has the ability to reach space but may not have the same capabilities for re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Essentially, a spaceplane is a type of spacecraft, whereas a space shuttle is a specific kind of spacecraft with distinct features.
When did space shuttle enterprise land?
the enterprise was not a space shuttle it was justa a prototype launched off the back of a plane to see how good it could glide back to earth.
What is the most aerodynamic plane?
People could argue between the Space Shuttle and the Concorde.
How powerful are the engines in a space shuttle?
they are more powerful than the ones in a plane and a jet pack as they need to lift a 2 tonne space shuttle off and out of earths atmosphere
Is a space shuttle more like a rocket or a plane?
its really both, it goes up like a rocket and comes down like a plane
What is a space shuttle and how does it differ from other spacecraft?
The major difference between a spacecraft and a space shuttle is that the other spacecrafts can not be reused once the do return to the earth with the astronauts. But the shuttle is launched lime a rocket, flys like a plane and lands like a plane on a runway, it is always reusable.
Is a space shuttle a plane?
A space shuttle is not a plane. It is similar to the design of a plane, but it is only powered when it goes up as a rocket. It comes down as a glider without power, however, the pilot or commander controls it using its control surfaces. It may be similar in the way it looks but it has protective heat plates that prevent it from burning up in the atmosphere.
How does a space shuttle get to space and back to earth?
A space shuttle is launched using rocket boosters and liquid fuel engines to reach space. Once in space, it orbits the Earth until it has completed its mission, after which it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, gliding back to Earth using its aerodynamic shape and heat shield to protect it during re-entry. Finally, it lands like a plane on a runway.
What was the last space shuttle ever built?
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
The first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
