What forces are needed to lift a space shuttle into space?
Upthrust is needed to lift a shuttle up RG
What year did space shuttle Challenger explode on lift-off?
Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986.
Does the space shuttle glide to earth?
Yes, the space shuttle glides to Earth during its descent after re-entering the atmosphere. It uses its aerodynamic design to create lift and control its descent similar to an airplane. By gliding, the shuttle can make precise landings at designated landing sites.
How does a space shuttle launch into outer space?
The space shuttle is launched into Outer Space by having it attached to the rocket that launches up as well as the space shuttle and gradually the rocket falls apart and lands in the Pacific ocean. It often lands there. The space shuttle then continues its mission alone.
What did the space shuttle Challenger do?
It exploded on lift-off.
Does wind lift a space shuttle?
Not really, it rides a rocket up to space.
What is the motion of space shuttle?
The space shuttle moves by using its engines to lift off from Earth, then travels through space by following a predetermined flight path. In orbit, the shuttle moves at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour in order to maintain its trajectory around the Earth. During reentry, the shuttle uses its heat shield to protect itself from the intense heat generated by atmospheric friction.
What are the forces acting on space shuttle?
The forces acting on a space shuttle during its flight include thrust, drag, gravity, and lift. Thrust is generated by the shuttle's rocket engines, propelling it upward. Gravity acts downward, pulling the shuttle towards Earth, while drag opposes its motion through the atmosphere. Lift, generated by the shuttle's wings, helps counteract gravity during ascent and assists in controlled descent.
What direction does the space shuttle go at lift off?
the east
When did the space shuttle Endeavour achieve lift off from the Kennedy Space Center?
1919
What are the forces acting on space shuttle during lift off?
The Earth's gravity primarily, plus atmospheric friction though that rapidly falls with altitude.
What are the three phases of space shuttle flight?
The phases of space shuttle flight are liftoff, orbit insertion, orbit, re-entry, and landing.
