space flight you go to outer space regualr flight flight you stay around earth
a space ship blastes of into space a plane dosent i am in grade 4 Another Answer: Planes maintain flight by creation of lift over the wing. Space ships achieve flight via thrust to escape Earth's gravity to obtain orbital velocity (free fall) and/or forward momentum.
The Space Shuttle refers to NASA's particular space plane, whereas a space plane encompasses all aircraft which takeoff from Earth's surface into space and then land on return.
The space shuttle lands like a plane and is reusable.
Airplane stay Inside The Atmosphere. Spaceships Dont, They Go Outside Of The Atmosphere
The first space flight was in 1981, Columbia was the first to make a space flight. The shuttle was a masterpiece of engineering. After being launched into space it could be flown like a plane.
In plane truss, both the truss structure and the applied loads lie in the same plane. In space truss, either the structure or the loads or both lie in different planes.
The plane is in two dimensional and the space figure is in three dimensional.
Plane forces are confined to a plane or are not three dimensional, while space forces are three dimensional..
Sub-orbital space flight reaches space while low orbital spaceflight attain sufficient velocity to go to space.
The major difference between a spacecraft and a space shuttle is that the other spacecrafts can not be reused once the do return to the earth with the astronauts. But the shuttle is launched lime a rocket, flys like a plane and lands like a plane on a runway, it is always reusable.
That really depends on the nature of the space plane and the technology used. The shuttle (a space plane) reduced the cost of space flight dramatically and made the payloads larger. But it was mainly due to the reusability and size of the shuttle.
An Orbital space flight simply means that you have accelerated a space craft fast enough so it stays in orbit (cicular path) around the Earth. A suborbital flight means you have reached the limit of space (anything over 100 km high) but not enough speed to completely circle the Earth.
