Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
What date did they put hubble space telescope in orbit?
The shuttle that would put the Hubble into orbit finally launched on April 24, 1990.
How many space shuttle visit Venus?
None yet. We have not sent one out of low earth orbit even.
Is there a man passing Pluto in the fastest space shuttle?
No. No space shuttle was ever built to leave orbit around Earth. The New Horizons space probe, an unmanned spacecraft, flew past Pluto in July 2015.
Which weather tool measures air temperature?
The temperature of the air in the shade. The temperature of the air is a measure of the degree of molecular movement of all the Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules that largely make up air.
Temperature where space shuttle of a space shuttle flies in orbit?
It is -121 to -156
What temperature is when the space shuttle flies in orbit?
please help me i have no idea!
What is the monuver called when a shuttle enters the Moon's orbit?
The shuttle never has and never will orbit the moon.
Why do planes and space shuttles fly at a different speed?
The space shuttle goes into orbit around the earth. In order to stay in an orbit, something that is orbiting has to go at the right speed for that orbit. The orbit the space shuttle goes into has a speed of around 17000 mph. If it went faster, it would go up higher into space away from the earth. If it went slower, it would not have enough energy of motion and it would fall back to earth. The shuttle's big rockets don't just lift it up into space, their main purpose is to give the shuttle this enormous speed so that it can stay in its orbit. A plane engine is not strong enough to make the plane go this fast, but if it did somehow go this fast it would burn up. When it is time to land, small rockets on the shuttle change the orbit so that it goes into the air. The air slows the shuttle down, and it starts to come down faster since it doesn't have enough speed anymore to stay in orbit. The air rushing past the shuttle has friction with the shuttle and gets very hot. As the shuttle goes through the air, it slows down from this friction, until it is finally going slow enough to land. When it lands the shuttle has slowed down to the speed of a plane.
What is the first space shuttle sent into orbit?
Columbia was the first shuttle in to orbit on April 13, 1981
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
How does a space shuttle escape the earth orbit?
The shuttle never leaves Earth orbit, it simply goes into orbit and then returns. Moving to a higher orbit requires additional speed and manuevering, as when visiting the ISS.
Second space shuttle to orbit th earth?
The second Shuttle into orbit was the Challenger; the first was Columbiachallenger, June 1983
How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?

What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Does air rise in a spach shuttle?
So long as there is a temperature and gravity gradient, yes
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
