What else can I help you with?
How many days would it take a space shuttle to travel from earth to the planet uranus?
It would take a space shuttle around 9 years to travel from Earth to the planet Uranus. The actual duration would vary based on the specific trajectory taken and the speed of the spacecraft.
What reusable experimental hardware was taken in space shuttle?
spacelab
Have space shuttles and current rockets taken humans as far as the moon in recent years?
A Space Shuttle has never taken a human to the moon.
How many astronauts travel in the Space Shuttle at once?
The shuttles have the capacity to carry 8 astronauts, but usually only 7 are on each mission. Sometimes the extra seat will be taken by the astronaut being returned to earth from the International Space Station.
How many flights has the Discovery taken to space?
Space Shuttle discovery's last flight on February 24, 2011 was it's 39th flight into space.
What instrument measures the time taken to run 100km?
A stopwatch.
Where is Buran?
A total of five Burans were planned. Space Shuttle 1.01 Space Shuttle 1.02 Space Shuttle 2.01 Space Shuttle 2.02 Space Shuttle 2.03 -Space Shuttle 1.01 was the only Buran to fly in space; it was destroyed in the Baikonur Cosmodrome hanger collapse in 2002. -Space Shuttle 1.02 is the only surviving Buran, it is extremely difficult to find its location or photos of it. Shuttle 1.02 was 95%-97% complete, requiring only the installation of some computer software. Space Shuttle 1.02 was located in a the MIK building at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, though it may have been moved because a photo was taken of it outside mounted on an Energia Booster. Speculation has resulted from the photo because this Buran was never documented to attached to an Energia. -Space Shuttle 2.01 was 30%-50% complete when the Buran program was canceled. It is currently stored at an aviation museum in Sinsheim, Germany. -Space Shuttle 2.02 was 10%-20% complete at the end of the program. It was put outside of the factory near Moscow and vandals have stripped it of most of the heat tiles. -Space Shuttle 2.03 was just started at the end of the program. It was dismantled.

Has a space shuttle taken photos of mars?
Astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle may well take photos of Mars as personal souvenirsif they have time, but the photos would have very little scientific value.The Space Shuttle operates at about 0.0005 percent of the smallest possible distance between Earthand Mars. The Shuttle astronauts don't get appreciably closer to Mars than you do in your kitchen.If additional imaging of Mars is required, it might be acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope, or bythe two rovers currently operating on the surface of Mars.
How long does it take sound to go 1 mile in space?
If it's space then it's totally vacuum and thus no medium for sound to travel and thus it can't travel in space so no speed no distance can be covered and no time can be taken..
When was the first space shuttles built?
Enterprise was the first shuttle built, although it was not constructed to enter space but as a test vehicle. Construction began in 1974, and Enterprise was completed in 1976. The first completely space-worthy shuttle, Columbia, was constructed between 1975 and 1979.Actually, The first space shuttle/rocket was built/discovered in the 1300s by the Chinese. But they ended up using them as Chinese Fireworks instead. That idea was taken, tweaked a little and created the rockets/space shuttles that we have today. The Chinese made gunpowder on accident, but it came into use with these new Fireworks.
Have fish ever been taken up into outer space on the space shuttle?
Yes, experiments have been conducted to further understand the effects of microgravity on many different species, fish are among those who have been in space.Skylab 3 held the first fish, a mummichog, to enter space.1An aquatic habitat was constructed on the ISS (international space station) to house, medaka, zebrafish and Xenopus.2 Most material delivered for the construction, maintenance and research conducted aboard ISS has been transferred through the space shuttle.There is ongoing research involving aquatic animals and their response to microgravity.3Refrences# http://history.nasa.gov/animals.html # http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14631634 # http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15858359
