How does NASA recover the external fuel tank and boosters?

NASA are lucky that the two solid rocket boosters separate above the ocean. When the boosters separate they are slowed down by parachutes. There are military ships circling around the proposed landing area of the boosters. Then they are towed by the ships towards the port. However, the external fuel tank does not survive the flight:it breaks up before impact in the Indian ocean. Luckly it breaks up well away from major shipping lanes.


What happens to space shuttle rocket boosters?

Two ships leave their dock at the Kennedy Space Center several days ahead of a launch and are positioned in the Atlantic Ocean, in the general area approximately 130 nautical miles from the Florida coast where the solid rocket boosters return to Earth. When the boosters are jettisoned, they descend by means of parachutes and land in the ocean. Divers close off the bottom each booster and pump them with compressed air to remove the seawater. The now floating boosters are towed by each ship back to the Kennedy Space Center where they are disassembled and returned via rail to Thiokol in Utah for refurbishment and repacked with solid propellent. Segments of the boosters are returned via rail to the Kennedy Space Center for use on a future shuttle mission.


What happens when the space shuttle lands?

After re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, the space shuttle glides back to Earth using its specialized heat shield and re-entry procedures. It lands on a runway using its landing gear. Once on the ground, it is towed back to the hangar for processing and refurbishment before its next flight.


When was 'Mary Celeste' found?

Sometime after Friday, Nov. 14, 1873 is the date when the fictitious Marie Celeste was found. The imaginary brigantine in question surfaces as the setting for maritime crimes and mysteries in the short story J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement. The fictionalized account tells readers of the first paragraph that Captain Dalton's Dei Gratia towed the derelict ship Marie Celeste from latitude 38 degrees 40' North, longitude 17 degrees, 15' West into the Mediterranean Sea port of Gibraltar in December 1873.


If there are three bulbs in a curcuit will they all glow the same brightness or will one be brighter than other?

With the naked eye they will all come on at the same time. Think of Christmas tree lights do they all come on together. It probably could be measured with an oscilloscope but I don't know. They will all come on at the same time. Think of the electrons in the wire as a very tight chain connected to your car while you are being towed. When the chain moves, every link in the chain moves and the car moves as well. Therefore when one electron (link in the chain) moves in the wire, they all move. Meaning every light will come on at the same time. There are exceptions to this rule, but it would take too long to explain.
