How does a space shuttle get into the air?
with thrust
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
How many pounds of thrust does the space shuttle produce during liftoff?
3 million pounds of thrust
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.
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)
Why do the space shuttle fly in the thermosphere?
The thermosphere is actually concidered to be in space because it is so rediculously thin. Because it is so thin spacecraft can orbit in it without the need for thrust. It also helps protect from radiation
How many tons of thrust does a space shuttle need in order to take off?
It takes 35000 tons of force to pull out the Earth's atmoshpere and 83000000000 tons to pull out of Jupiter
What do you need to survive in the space shuttle?
you need everything in space shuttle a oxygen to breathe,dry and packed food to eat,
How do astronauts get into space?
Astronauts launch from the earth atop a rocket or in a shuttle with at least enough thrust to achieve orbit.
