What else can I help you with?
Which space shuttle failed?
Space Shuttle Challenger failed during launch. Space Shuttle Columbia failed during reentry.
Why is black pannels use on the space shuttle?
They are thermal heat protection tiles. They help the Space Shuttle withstand 3,000+ F during reentry.
What year did space shuttle Columbia break apart on reentry?
Space shuttle Columbia broke apart on reentry on February 1, 2003.
Names of the Space Shuttles that have blowen up or failed during space flight?
Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just a few seconds into a flight in 1986. Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during its reentry in 2003.
How long does it take time for the space shuttle from atmospheric reentry to landing?
From atmospheric reentry to landing, a space shuttle typically takes about 30 minutes. The exact duration can vary depending on the angle of descent, speed, and landing location. The intense heat generated during reentry is gradually dissipated as the shuttle slows down and lands safely.
Which space shuttle exploded 2003 on reentry into earth's atmosphere?
The space shuttle that exploded upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere in 2003 was the Space Shuttle Columbia. The disaster resulted in the loss of all seven crew members on board.
How many g force does the space shuttle pull?
The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
What kind of environment is space shuttle reentry?
When in the orbit, space shuttles kinetic energy is in large amounts. The energy must the disposed for a safe landing. Reentry space shuttles must show blunt shapes for the heat energy to be released into the atmosphere.
What is the g force of the space shuttle at reentry?
During reentry, the space shuttle experiences deceleration forces of around 3 g's. This means that the astronauts onboard would feel a force three times stronger than the force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth.
Does atmosphere affects the space shuttle?
Atmosphere affects any craft that goes into outer space. On the way out, the shuttle must be able to overcome the friction from the air and on the way back, it must be insulated against the heat.
Does the space shuttle reuse the liguid-fuel tanks?
No. The large orange External Tank or ET as it is called is jettisoned at about the 8 minute mark of the flight and burns up in the earths atmosphere during its reentry.
Why is the space shuttle's nose round and not pointed?
The space shuttle's rounded nose helps reduce drag and heat during reentry by creating a shock wave that helps dissipate heat away from the spacecraft. This design also improves stability and control during the various stages of flight.
