How does a space shuttle get into the air?
with thrust
How many pounds of thrust does the space shuttle produce during liftoff?
The space shuttle produced about 7.8 million pounds of thrust during liftoff.
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The space shuttle's main engines provided approximately 418,000 pounds of thrust each, and the solid rocket boosters provided an additional 1.3 million pounds of thrust each. Together, this allowed the space shuttle to break Earth's orbit and reach space.
Horse power is in a space shuttle?
Horsepower is not used in space shuttles. Instead, the thrust produced by the engines is measured in Newtons or pounds-force. This thrust is essential for propelling the shuttle into space and overcoming Earth's gravity.
How does a parachute help stop the space shuttle?
It increases the amount of drag, since the space shuttle doesn't have thrust reversers like an airliner would.
How is the power of the space shuttle measured?
In Thrust, the power of a normal launch is about 30 million newtons of Thrust to launch into orbit.
What is the amount of energy required for a space shuttle take off?
7,000,000 pounds of thrust.
What does it use to help the space shuttle get to space?
A power called thrust and Newton's 3rd law of space which states that there is an opposite reaction. the rocket fuel goes down which pushes the space shuttle up.
Does a space shuttle use a propeller?
No, a space shuttle does not use a propeller. It is propelled into space by rocket engines that generate thrust by expelling exhaust gases at high speeds. Once in space, the shuttle maneuvers using its thrusters and reaction control system.
How many booster rockets does the space shuttle have?
The space shuttle had two solid rocket boosters attached to its external fuel tank to provide additional thrust at liftoff.
How was the Columbia shuttle launched?
The Columbia shuttle was launched using the Space Shuttle system, which involved strapping the shuttle onto a rocket boosters and an external fuel tank. The boosters provided most of the thrust during liftoff, with the shuttle's main engines igniting once in space.
How much thrust does the space shuttle require to lift off?
about 7.2 million pounds of thrust (Solid Rocket Boosters and Main Engines combined)
