What kinds of forces do you think the space shuttle has to overcome?
Inertia and Earth's gravitational pull
How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach space?
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
What are the forces like when a space shuttle leaves the earth?
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV
Why does it take less fuel to launch a space shuttle from moon than from earth?
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
Time it takes to get to Jupiter in a space shuttle?
You can't get to Jupiter using the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is not designed to leave Earth's orbit (it doesn't have the thrust to reach Earth's escape velocity) and in fact flies at quite a low altitude compared to other satellites out there.
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Can you see the shuttle in space?
You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!
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.
When did the first space shuttle go into space?
On April 12, 1981 the space shuttle Columbia was the first shuttle to orbit the Earth.
How does a space shuttle get to space and back to earth?
The Space Shuttle lands like a plane. When it gets to earth, there is a runway and it will land smoothly on the ground.
When rockets leave the space shuttle how do they not catch the shuttle on fire?
because there is no oxygen in space so fire can't burn the shuttle
How fast does a space shuttle travel in space in miles per hour?
It has to be going at least 17,500 miles per hour to overcome earth's gravity, so it's at least that much.
