Why is the space shuttle program different?
The Space Shuttle is a partially reusable system that goes only into Earth orbit and returns. The Apollo vehicle was not reusable and left Earth orbit to visit the moon. The Apollo was launched entirely with liquid fuel rockets. The Space Shuttle is launched with a combination of solid and liquid fuel rockets.
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.
How is the space shuttle program different from the Apollo Program?
The Space Shuttle is a partially reusable system that goes only into Earth orbit and returns. The Apollo vehicle was not reusable and left Earth orbit to visit the moon. The Apollo was launched entirely with liquid fuel rockets. The Space Shuttle is launched with a combination of solid and liquid fuel rockets.
What is the name of the american space shuttle that goes into orbit?
There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
Every time space shuttle goes up you have tornado?
No. The space shuttle has nothing to do with tornadoes.
What makes a space shuttle go up?
At launch the Shuttle (orbiter) is attached to two rockets -- the long white tubes on the sides are called solid rocket boosters (SRBs). Also, the big orange tank the Shuttle sits on at launch is a full of liquid fuel. At launch the SRBs ignite/start and the shuttle's main engine begins burning the liquid fuel. These three engines push the shuttle up into orbit. If you are asking how a rocket engine works. If you put an object beside a bomb, when the bomb goes off it knocks/pushes the object away. If you put a firecracker under an empty tin can, the firecracker will knock the can up into the air (see link below). You can think of a rocket engine as creating many continuous explosions that push it.
How much co2 is produced when the space shuttle goes up?
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.
What are the advantages of a space shuttle when it goes into space or even when it is getting ready to do a launch into space?
The space shuttle's reusable design allows it to launch, travel to space, return to Earth, and be prepared for launch again efficiently. Its large payload capacity enables the transportation of astronauts, cargo, and satellites to space in a single mission. Additionally, the space shuttle's ability to maneuver in space and deploy and repair satellites makes it a versatile spacecraft.
Can you create a sentence with the word shuttle?
The space shuttle blasted off. The NASA team goes inside the shuttle. We can go inside the shuttle now.
What is really the space shuttle?
Contrary to popular belief, the Space Shuttle is the orbiter, external boosters and external tanks combined. The bit that actually goes into space is called the orbiter.
How fast is a space shuttle per min?
it goes about 64387 miles
What happens when a space-shuttle launches?
When a space shuttle launches, the main engines ignite to lift the shuttle off the ground. Once it gains enough altitude, the solid rocket boosters are released. The shuttle then continues its journey into space using its main engines until it reaches orbit.
