What does the space shuttle look like?
The space shuttle had three main components: the orbiter, external tank, and solid rocket boosters. The orbiter had wings and resembled a plane. The external tank was a large orange tank, and the solid rocket boosters were two white rocket boosters attached to the sides.
How much does the endeavor space shuttle weigh?
150lbs. So it can be safely flown by a airplane.
Can the space shuttle take the heat on gravity entry of mars?
The heat of entry is not caused by gravity; it is caused by resistance by the atmosphere. Since the atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth's there would be less heating on entry. So yes, the space shuttle could probably withstand the heat. There would be another problem, though. In the final stages before landing on Earth, the space shuttle flies in for a landing much like an ordinary airplane. The atmosphere of Mars is too thin to support such flight, so the shuttle would simply crash.
How is travelling in a space shuttle different from traveling in an airplane?
Traveling in a space shuttle involves experiencing a force of gravity that is significantly higher during launch and re-entry compared to an airplane. Space shuttles travel at much higher speeds and altitudes, reaching orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies. Additionally, space shuttles require extensive training for astronauts due to the unique challenges of space travel.
Why did the cooling method used on a space capsule not work for a space shuttle?
A space capsule, like the Apollo, is circular in shape and the shuttle is actually shaped like an airplane. The circular shape evenly distributes the heat caused by friction, thus slowing the capsule down. The shuttle, being variable in shape, would present a much different profile as it travels through the atmosphere. Where a capsule uses a parachute to land in the ocean, the shuttle can use its wings to land on a runway.
What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
Which flies paper airplane or foil airplane?
Paper, because it is much lighter, and a foil airplane will take up much more mass.
How much do the wings of an airplane weigh?
Airplane? What airplane? My paper airplane wings weigh less than 8 grams.
Why is a metal skin not used on a space shuttle?
It is in many places, but when the shuttle glides back into the atmosphere for a landing, its going so fast that the air creates friction. The heat from that much air friction would melt any metal, so they use heat resistant ceramic tiles which are only in the places where the friction is the hottest - on the bottom of the shuttle mostly. In pictures they look like dark gray roof tiles.
How did looms work before the flying shuttle?
The weaver had to push the shuttle by hand, which was much slower.
How much is i t from Manchester airport to prestatyn north wales by shuttle bus?
There is no such shuttle bus
How do you weigh an airplane?
Stand on a scale. Figure out how much you weigh. Then pick up the airplane and stand on the scale. Subtract how much you originally weighed, and that is the weight of the airplane.
