What is the highest rate of acceleration of the space shuttle?
The shuttle carries passengers (pilots and other astronauts) and therefore its acceleration is kept around 3g so as not to cause undue stress to those on board.The shuttle reaches a speed of approx 17,500 mphin order to attain low earth orbit, it uses its solid fuel rocket booster to achieve this. The shuttles theoretical top speed is higher at around 22,000 mph.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, as it is a vector it needs to be expressed in terms of magnitude and direction. Acceleration occurs when speed increases, when speed decreases and/or when the direction of motion changes. g is commonly used to as a measure of acceleration. The SI unit for acceleration is metres per second squared.
if you flew a plane straight would it fly into space?
It depends on how you define "airplane". Since planes are defined by generating lift with the wings, then technically the answer is no. Airplanes need air flowing over their wings to generate lift, so they can not leave the atmosphere. However, not everything with wings is an airplane. The Space Shuttle had wings, and obviously it could fly into space. If the question is "if a flying object kept going in a straight line, would it go into space?" then the answer is yes. It's not the most efficient path to space, but if you shot a rocket in a straight line (assuming it wasn't a line going towards the ground) and it had enough fuel, then it would eventually reach space.
How does the space station propelled its self?
Flywheels deliver the needed impulses to turn the heavy mass of the station in space, and they are kept spinning powered via solar voltaic panels. Perhaps.
Can astronauts have a conversation in space without radios?
No, not in space. Sound needs air to travel through, and there's no air in space. However, while they're inside their spacecraft, the capsule is kept full of pressurized breathable air, just so they don't have to wear their space-suits all the time. Since they do have air inside, they can converse without radio while they're in there.
What kept Neil Armstrong from floating into space when he walked on the moon?
He wore a heavy 70.3 pound backpack filled with led weights to keep him from flying off the moon
Where is all the food kept in a space shuttle?
yes it is xx === ===
Where is the food kept in a space shuttle?
The food is kept in special frozen areas. This helps keeping the food from withering.
What did Star Trek do to help America?
It has kept up a lot of interest in our own space program. Which NASA acknowledged in naming a space shuttle "Enterprise".
Where is a ship's cargo kept?

Where is a ship's cargo kept in?
a cargo hold
Where cargo is stored on a boat?
If you are talking about a cargo ship then the cargo is kept right on the deck of the boat.
Where is a dangerous cargo manifest kept?

How much co2 is produced when the space shuttle goes up?
The fuel used by the main space shuttle engines is super-cold liquid hydrogen, kept at a temperature of -253oC. The hydrogen fuel is combusted with liquid oxygen in a reaction that reaches temperatures of up to 3136oC to creates a high-speed stream of gas which ultimately generates the thrust necessary for launching the shuttle. This gas stream is essentially just very hot water steam with no CO2.
What is the name of the place where cargo is stored on a ship?
sleep
Place where luggage is kept in plane is called?
The place where luggage is kept in an airplane is called the cargo hold.
Can a civil and military aircraft be kept in space?
yes we can keep a civil and military aircraft be kept in space
Where do astronauts sleep in a rocket?
The Space Station and Shuttle astronauts keep Houston time, and sleep when it's night time in Texas. In the old Soviet-era Mir space station, the cosmonauts kept Moscow time. However, I believe that like ships, the ISS and Shuttle astronauts keep "watches", so that someone is awake at all times.
