What else can I help you with?
What Rockets are used by astronauts today?
Both liquid and solid fuel rockets are used for manned flight today.
Where does NASA keep the space shuttles that are not being used?
Space shuttles are placed in a hangar at Kennedy Space Center when not on a mission or on pre- or post flight processing. The very tall Vehicle Assembly Building is where they are prepared for flight and where the External Fuel Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters are joined to the orbiter. Post flight checks and repairs are also carried out here.
How many shuttles were launched and what were their names?
Well, as you wish here are the 1980-2011 space shuttles, and their names: 1. Colombia 2. Challenger 3. Discovery 4. Atlantis 5. Enterprise ________________________________________________________________ Here's what happened: 1. designated during reentry 2. Blew up in mid-flight 3. Made a great flight 4. Great flight 5. Never launched, citizens where curious of the shuttle...
What is g-load limit on space shuttles?
3 G to allow crew to function in flight.
How fast can a space shuttle fly?
The speed of flight really depends on what you mean by 'flight'. The shuttle can reach over 1700 mph, but not all that is provided by the shuttle engines. The initial 3000 mph are supplied by the booster rockets.
Which space shuttles were destroyed in flight?
Challenger was destroyed in a launch accident on January 28, 1986.Columbia was destroyed during reentry on February 1, 2003.The surviving four shuttles are Enterprise (flight tests), Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour (built to replace Challenger).
Who sang Sky Rockets in Flight?
The Starland Vocal Band in 'Afternoon Delight'.
Who concluded that rockets for space flight must be powered by liquid fuel?
Germany
Which mode of transit is typically the fastest?
Flight. Particularly space shuttles. For average people, jet or military planes.
What do rockets do that help us?
As for "all of us here on Earth" people, rockets contribute a negligible increase in water vapor to their launch areas, and a statistically miniscule chance that part of one could someday fall on your house :-) As for those people skilled enough to fly in spacecraft, the major effects of rocket flight are twofold : 1) a short period of high-G (acceleration) stress during takeoffs and landings (not usually a cause of chronic injury) ; and 2) loss of muscle tone and bone calcium if working for long periods in weightless conditions in space (which is not actually an effect of the rocket itself).
What are the phases of a model rockets flight?
it starts with the pelvic thrust then erection and then boom goes the dynamite
Do some rocket parts come off when the go it to space?
Yes, the booster rockets. This usually happens after their fuel has been spent, and they merely drop back to earth and land in the ocean where they are retrieved and used again for another flight.
