What else can I help you with?
If the Apollo spacecraft could reach the moon why cant the shuttle?
The shuttle rockets are not as powerful as the Saturn 5 rocket.
Can the space shuttle fly to the moon?
No, the space shuttle was designed for missions in low Earth orbit and did not have the capability to fly to the moon. The Apollo missions, not the space shuttle, were responsible for sending humans to the moon.
How is the space shuttle like the Saturn V rockets?
It's not, very much, except in the sense that both of them have a booster stage that doesn't go into orbit and a payload section that does.
What are all the names of NASA's rockets?
Here are the most well known Redstone Mercury-Redstone Gemini Saturn V (Apollo missions) Space Shuttle.
What was used before space shuttle?
Before the space shuttle program, NASA used various launch vehicles such as the Saturn rockets for the Apollo missions and the Space Transportation System for early spaceflights. These vehicles were designed for specific missions and did not have the reusable characteristics of the space shuttle.
How could you get to Saturn?
By a rocket or space shuttle
What are Saturn Rockets?
the name of the rockets that were in the Apollo missions(get man on the moon) very powerful Ex:Saturn V
How is the space shuttle different from the Saturn 5 rocket?
The space shuttle is a reusable vehicle. With the Saturn V and other rockets, the stages are just fuel containers, and only a small part of the entire rocket (the crew module) ever came back to Earth, and even that couldn't be used again. The shuttle has the orbiter's engines with a single-use fuel tank and two recoverable solid-fuel boosters. The orbiter returns and lands on Earth, and the solid-fuel boosters are recovered from the ocean and refilled.
What the names of the rockets that went to the moon?
The rockets that carried astronauts to the moon were the Saturn V rockets. Specifically, Apollo 11, the first mission to land humans on the moon, launched with a Saturn V rocket.
What is the Height of the Saturn V Rockets?
The Saturn V rockets used by NASA during the Apollo missions stood at a height of 363 feet (111 meters).
How many rockets launched at nasa?
NASA has launched over 200 rockets since its establishment in 1958, including various types such as sounding rockets, expendable launch vehicles, and spacecraft launchers like the Space Shuttle. The exact number can vary depending on how one counts different missions and suborbital flights. Major launch vehicles include the Saturn V, Space Shuttle, and more recently, the Space Launch System (SLS). Each of these programs has contributed significantly to space exploration and research.
What is fuel called?
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used as the propellant in the high efficiency main engines of the Space Shuttle. LOX/LH2 also powered the upper stages of the Saturn V and Saturn 1B rockets. Another cryogenic fuel with desirable properties for space propulsion systems is liquid methane.
