How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?
In space, there is no gravity to overcome. The chllenge to astronauts is how to deal with the lack of gravity.
What speed does the space shuttle have to reach to escape earths gravity?
17,500 miles per hour puts the shuttle in orbit. BUT the gravity is still there. I'm fact there is about 90% of the gravity while the shuttle is on the ground. That great rate of speed is required to keep the shuttle from falling back to earth. At that speed the shuttle is basically falling around the planet.
Why do space shuttle float on space?
A space shuttle is able to float because there is no gravity in space.
Why does a space shuttle need to travel so fast when entering earths atmosphere?
Although it reaches incredible speeds, a Space Shuttle is not going fast when it enters the atmosphere. The gravitational pull of Earth, or just gravity, are pulling down on the space shuttle with immense force.
What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia
What devices do es the space shuttle use to overcome the earths gravity?
rockets
Why boosters are used in space shuttle?
Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.
Why does it take so much power to get into space?
You have to overcome the force of gravity. So, if you're in the space shuttle which weighs 240,000 pounds at liftoff, you have to have enough force to overcome that weight.
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
Why is flying to and through space a greater feat than flying through the air?
because to get to space you have to overcome the pull of earths gravity

How fast does a space shuttle travel in 500 seconds?
To escape the Earths gravity the shuttle goes 17,500 miles an hour. You can use that value to figure out how far it goes in 500 seconds.
When in orbit a satellite such as the space shuttle is either a projectile or a non-accelerated motion or free from earths gravity or an ellipse?
free from the motion of earth
