If you mean on lift off, liquid oxygen is used to fuel the engines to get the shuttle into space. It reacts with liquid hydrogen to create the reaction needed to produce thrust. Normal air would not provide enough oxidizer for the rapid combustion in the shuttle engines.
Much smaller tanks of oxygen are used to provide a pressurized living area for the crew to live in during the course of the mission.
What else can I help you with?
How do astronauts breath with their suits off in their space shuttles?
Space shuttles are pressurized so that the oxygen stays inside the shuttle.
Why do space shuttles need separate oxygen to burn the fuel in the space shuttle?
Space shuttles operate in the vacuum of space where there is no air to provide oxygen for combustion. Therefore, they carry their own liquid oxygen as an oxidizer to allow the fuel to burn in the rocket engines. This ensures that the shuttle can generate thrust and maneuver in space.
Does Jupiter have earth's oxygen so people don't need to use a oxygen tank and mask?
no
Why does the oxygen need to be comressed in a divers tank?
Oxygen needs to be compressed in a diver's tank to increase the amount of oxygen that can be stored in the tank. Compressing the gas allows divers to carry enough oxygen to sustain them while underwater for a longer period of time without the tank becoming too large and unwieldy.
What two fuels that rockets use and space shuttles?
Oxygen and hydrogen
What do need to visit Saturn?
you would need water, food, an oxygen tank, and a space suit.
What is the minimum amount of PSI you can have in your oxygen tank before you need to exchange tanks?
Typically, the minimum amount of PSI recommended in an oxygen tank before needing to be exchanged is around 500 PSI. This ensures that there is enough oxygen for safe use and prevents running out unexpectedly.
How do you empty oxygen tank?
To empty an oxygen tank, you need to open the cylinder valve and allow the oxygen to release until the tank is empty. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area and follow safety guidelines provided by the tank manufacturer or healthcare provider. Once empty, properly dispose of or return the tank according to regulations.
What do fish need to survive in a tank?
Fish need clean water, appropriate temperature, oxygen, proper nutrition, and space to swim in order to survive in a tank.
What is the medical term meaning oxygen tank?
Oxygen tank!
Name somewhere that you would need an oxygen tank?
Underwater Hospital In a fire Outer space
What do you need to where on Mars?
Well since there is no atmosphere you'll need to wear a space suit that is pressurized and you need a oxygen tank
