What is the most powerful rocket?
The most powerful rocket to date is the Soviet Energia designed to carry the Buran Space Shuttle and in theory go the the moon.
What are the major parts - or components - of the space shuttle?
the external tank, solid rocket boosters, and the orbiter, which most people refer to as the shuttle. The shuttle is the whole thing, when all three are together at one.
Most famous space shuttle?
the most famous space shuttle
What force acts on a space shuttle when it accelerates?
Presumably the most important force on an accelerating space shuttle is the force of the rocket engines (thrusters). Certainly other forces are present, including gravity and air friction.
What is the worlds most famous rocket?
That's a matter of opinion. Here's mine: Probably the V2 rocket that started it all. Or even the Saturn V - the rocket that launched the Apollo capsules and Skylab. The US space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz rocket are also very well-known.

What are the two most common ways that a satellite is launched into orbit?
Riding on a rocket and riding in the cargo bay of a space shuttle
Most powerful engine in cars and vehicles?
Most powerful production car, Buggatti Veyron, most powerful vehicle, Saturn V, the space shuttle
What is the difference between rocket and aeroplanes?
The rockets are attached to the space shuttle (in most cases) for the powerful thrust to launch shuttle in the space and aeroplanes are the commercialized vehicles which has lot more people travelling at one time The rokets use the hybrif fuels which is methyl hydrazine and nitrocellulose and aeroplanes uses highly purifies kerosene.

Which is the shuttle Sent to space mOST times?
The space shuttle Discovery has flown the most times of all the space shuttle orbiters.
How does a space shuttle reach in space?
Using thousands of pounds of rocket fluid. Most of the rocket fuel is used in take off, because of air resistance caused by the Earths atmosphere. There is no air resistance in space so once an object gets move, it'll stay moving.

What was used to make the space shuttle?
I believe it needed 2,000,000 parts and was called the most complicated machine ever made. The materials of course are too numerous to list. The space shuttle has 4 major parts. The solid rocket boosters (there are 2 of them), the external fuel tank, and the
Why does the space shuttle need rocket thrusters when its orbiting the exosphere?
Firstly, the lower boundary of the exosphere is 600km so the Space shuttle would have no need to be orbiting in the exosphere. Most of the time the space shuttle missions are to the ISS which orbits at a height of 370km. This is in the Thermosphere (approx 100km - 600km). The purpose of its thrusters are to aid in takeoff, docking with satellites, and reducing its speed to begin re-entry into earth's atmosphere.
