Why can't a satellite in space never hit a human?
Actually, it can. It is a very rare occurrence, but pieces of a decending satellite can hit a person, but since most satellites burn up in the atmosphere, and only large satellites can have piece survive the burnup, the chances that someone will be hit by one is very, very small. In the Space Station or Space Shuttle, that is a different story. The ground control works to prevent pieces of old satellites and "space junk" from hits the shuttle, or station, or astronauts. In fact, one paint chip from an old satellite or rocket booster did hit the Space shuttle's thick window, causing the outer layers to shatter.
Has the moon ever been hit by a space shuttle?
No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.
Could a shuttle ever been hit by a meteorite?
It is theoretically possible for a space shuttle to be hit by a meteorite, but the chances are extremely low due to the vastness of space. Space agencies take precautions to minimize this risk by tracking space debris and meteoroids. Additionally, the shuttle's hull is designed to withstand impacts from small debris.
Where is the space shuttle on simpsons hit and run?
there is not a space shuttel people are telling lies
What would happen if hockey puck was hit off the space shuttle?
Well, the space shuttle is no longer in space, it is in a museum, so if you hit a hockey puck off it, the hockey puck would probably crash into the museum wall.
What satellite was hit by a meteorite?
In 1992, the European Space Agency's Olympus satellite was hit by a meteoroid, causing a temporary loss of communications. While this event highlighted the potential risks of space debris, the satellite was able to recover and continue its mission.
Has a comet ever hit a satellite?
I don't think so
Why don't space shuttle astronaut in orbit hit their heads on the ceiling of the falling shuttle?
Space shuttle astronauts in orbit do not hit their heads on the ceiling because they are in a state of free fall, experiencing microgravity. In this condition, both the astronauts and the shuttle are falling towards Earth at the same rate, creating the sensation of weightlessness. As a result, they float inside the shuttle and are not subject to the forces that would normally cause them to collide with surfaces.
How long does it take an astronauts to go from earth to space?
It varies, but the last shuttle mission hit orbit about 12 minutes after launch.
How does a space shuttle protect you from a come t inspace?
The space shuttle is basically like a modern airliner. The tiles that cover the skin are fairly brittle but offer a very small layer of protection. Basically, if the shuttle was hit by a meteorite of any real size it would likely destroy the aircraft. The odds of a substantial strike during orbit are very very slim.
How long does the space shuttle take to return to earth?
From the time mission control gives the signal for the shuttle to re-enter and return to Earth, it takes about one hour for the whole process. The shuttle flies at 17,000 mph before the wheels hit the Earth.
If the shuttle hit the line base is it out?
if the shuttle hits any part of the line it's in
