How is the element zirconium used in relation to space shuttles?
Zirconium, zirconium alloys and some zirconium ceramics (ZrO2, Zr N, ZrB2) are very thermoresistant, has good mechanical properties, great hardness, etc.; these properties are very important for some external components of space aircrafts.
How do Space shuttles dock the iss?
International Space Station is about 400km from Earth and travels around it at about 27000Km/hr making several revolutions per day. Space Shuttles travel at about the same speed at a place called Low Earth Orbit. Logically a Space shuttle should arrive at the ISS in seconds but this is not so because the ISS is moving arround the world at a tremendous speed and the shuttle is moving towards it, so it should be taken into consideration that they do not collide and all mathematical questions come into play like when exactly will they meet and how and where almost like a weather forecast. The shuttle has to take an orbit that curves slightly outwards towards the ISS until it attaches itself to it after following it for two or three days and then it will look like one big unit combined. It is at this stage that you will notice that the shuttles are not aeroplanes at all inspite of their good looks and similarities with aeroplanes. O.T. MOSHETI (BOTSWANA)

What is a good carbon fiber hood company?
VIS Racing, Seibon, Carbon Creations are a few.
Why is carbon fiber a good material for prosthetic legs?
because carbon fibre is a light and yet strong material
Is carbon fiber tear proof?
Depending on the composte glue material used to bind or finish the fiber. Typically the cheaper alternatives are not however it is alot more fire retardant than most other materials used for similar applications. A resin type glue such as epoxy would be scorch proof but that being said if you heat annything up to a certain point it will combust. everything has its tolerances.
Where to buy carbon fiber sticker in Singapore?
In Singapore, i got my carbon fibre sticker from SgGarage.com The material is good n stretchable to paste. thumb Up!
Can carbon fiber be painted?
Yes, and it's a good thing to do if the application is outdoors or elsewhere if it will be exposed to UV light.
Is aluminum good for space shuttles?
Aluminium is used in the airframe of the space shuttle due to its light weight and high strenght. The problems with aluminum is that it is susceptible to fatigue and it requires shielding from heat for high temp applications
What is carbon fiber vinyl used for?
Carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than fiberglass. Some people like the way it looks when used with a good clear resin.
Does carbon fiber conduct electricity?
Carbon Fiber itself has a high resistance, but will still conduct electricity. Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer may not a easily conduct due to the infused polymer (which dose not conduct) that may insulate the carbon strands.
What is a good site for kids to learna bout space and astronauts?
There are several NASA sites that I occasionally visit. Some have a very good tutorial on all space related issues. History, new stuff, space walking, suits, shuttles and so much more. The sites are regularly updated when new stuff comes in and the links are a dream. The quality of most is incredible too. Good luck.
Why athletes use carbon fiber limbs?
Most of them don't. But carbon fibre has a good strength-to-weight ratio and is real springy. If you're an athlete who has lost your own limb, carbon fibre is probably the way to build the best performing prostethic.
