Names of space shuttles first used in 1980?

The space shuttles that were first used in 1980 were Columbia and Challenger. Both space shuttles were part of NASA's Space Shuttle program and conducted various missions until the Challenger disaster in 1986.


What shuttles go in to space in 1970?

None. The shuttle didnt fly until 1981.


Did all space shuttles dock at the International Space Station?

No, not all space shuttles docked at the International Space Station. The Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, and prior to that, shuttles visited several destinations including the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Russian Mir space station.


How many space shuttles crashed before we got to the moon?

None, the space shuttle had not been designed until after we quit going to the moon.


How do astronauts wash their hands?

The astronauts have to wait until they come home to wash their hands. There aren't any faucets or running water on space shuttles.


Why wouldn't space shuttles create sonic booms while orbiting earth?

Space shuttles do not create sonic booms while orbiting Earth because sonic booms are caused by shockwaves produced when an object travels faster than the speed of sound within the atmosphere. Since space shuttles travel at speeds greater than the speed of sound in space (where there is no atmosphere to create the conditions for a sonic boom), they do not produce sonic booms while in orbit.


How Long Was Columbia Space Shuttle?

The Columbia orbiter was 122.17 feet long. The entire Space Shuttle (which includes the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters) is184 feet long. All space shuttles and orbitals seem to be the same length.


How do Space shuttles re-fuel in outer space?

Space shuttles do not refuel in outer space in the traditional sense; they are typically launched with all the fuel they need for their missions. However, spacecraft can transfer fuel in orbit using a process called propellant transfer, where one vehicle transfers fuel to another using specialized hoses and connectors. This technique is primarily used with satellites and space stations, like the International Space Station, which can receive fuel from visiting supply ships. Spacecraft are designed for specific missions, and once their fuel is used, they generally return to Earth or remain in orbit until they re-enter the atmosphere.


When did the shuttle program begins?

The Space Shuttle program began in 1981 with the launch of the first space shuttle, Columbia. Over the course of the program, five operational space shuttles were built and used for various missions until the program ended in 2011.


How do space shuttles enter and exit space?

When a space shuttle takes off, it gathers momentum and burns fuel to get higher. Once the huge rocket that the space shuttle rides on is out of fuel, it falls off. The shuttle continues on alone into space. To get back into the atmosphere, careful calculations are done. The shuttle must come in at just the right angle or else it will burn up or bounce off of the atmosphere and be gone forever. The space shuttle slices into the atmosphere and begins gliding like a paper airplane at incredible speeds. A computer controls the shuttle and lands it on a runway that is a mile wide and several miles long. It lands like a normal airplane and everyone arrives safely.


What was the first space shuttles that went into space in between 1960 to 2000?

The US Space Shuttle first flew in 1981 and continued in operation until 2011. Prior to 1981 expendable space capsules were the preferred method of getting crews into space. Initially it was thought the Space Shuttle program would cut costs of space travel but it ultimately proved to be more expensive and more dangerous, taking the lives of 14 astronauts during its operational life. In comparison 7 astronauts/cosmonauts have died in capsules. The Soviet Union attempted to design a space shuttle but it never flew with a crew aboard. The USA has now reverted to a capsule design for its next space program. Five Space Shuttles were built and flown in space: Discovery Atlantis Endeavour Columbia (Destroyed during re-entry 2003) Challenger (Destroyed during launch 1986)


What shuttles have survived after a space flight?

Three of the 5 functional Space Shuttle orbiters built survived until retirement, a total of 135 manned missions. They are Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. The shuttle Enterprise was not used in orbital flight.There were 4 original shuttles built after the testing of Enterprise in 1977:Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis.Challenger was destroyed in a launch accident on January 28, 1986. A fifth orbiter, Endeavour, was built from spare parts.Columbia was destroyed during reentry on February 1, 2003.
