What acronym is used to label Space Shuttle missions?
The acronym used to label Space Shuttle missions is STS, which stands for Space Transportation System. Each Space Shuttle mission is identified by STS followed by a mission number.
What was the name of the space shuttle of the 38th flight?
Atlantis was the space shuttle used on STS-38. However, this was the 37th actual flight of the shuttle system. The 38th flight was on mission STS-39, which was flown by the shuttle Discovery.
What does the Space Shuttle dock with?
The Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station (ISS) during its missions. The shuttle used a docking mechanism called the Orbiter Docking System to connect with the ISS.
What demonstrate an activity in which the respiratory system is used by the body?
swimming
What is the name of the next space shuttle to be launched by NASA?
The next space shuttle to be launched by NASA will be the Space Launch System (SLS), not a shuttle. SLS is a powerful rocket that will be used for missions beyond low Earth orbit, including the Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the Moon.
How do they steer the space shuttle?
The space shuttle was steered using a system of thrusters and reaction control jets located on the orbiter and the two solid rocket boosters. These thrusters would fire in specific sequences to adjust the shuttle's course and orientation in space. Astronauts also used a system of onboard computers to input commands for navigation and control.
Other name of Canadarm?
The other name for Canadarm is the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS). It is a robotic arm used on the Space Shuttle to manipulate payloads and assist astronauts with tasks outside the spacecraft.
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.
Who made the first canadarm and when?
The Canadarm, or Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS), was a robotic arm designed by Canadian company SPAR Aerospace, Ltd. It debuted on the Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-2) November 13, 1981.
What does NASA use the space shuttle for?
The space shuttle is NASA's space transportation system, designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from Earth orbit. The first space shuttle flight took place in 1981. The space shuttle fleet is scheduled to be retired in 2011. When the shuttle program ends, the space shuttle will have been launched on more than 130 missions. :):):):):)
What is the orbital maneuvering system engine?
The OMS engines on the shuttle (there are two) are two hypergolic propellant powered engines used by the shuttle during ascent, orbit and deorbit. During launch, the engines MAY be used after main engine cutoff to boost the Shuttle to a predetermined elliptical orbit. This is called OMS-1 burn. OMS-1 may not be required based on the payload and mission. OMS-2 burn is used to circularize the elliptical orbit that the shuttle first enters after launch. The engines may be used to change the shuttle's orbital characteristics during its mission. The engines are used to deorbit the Shuttle so that it may reenter the atmosphere to come back home.
Why is the Space shuttle main engine used on a space shuttle?
UUUHH...it's called a "space shuttle" main engine...why do you think?
