How fast is the space shuttle traveling as it orbits the Earth?
Answer The speed in orbit is around 17500 miles an hour.
How many miles per second does a space shuttle travel?
In o bit it travels 17,000 mph, or about 17500/3600 seconds = 4.7 miles per second
How long would it take to get to the moon in a space shuttle at 17500 miles per hour?
It would take approximately 3 days to travel from Earth to the Moon in a space shuttle moving at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour. This estimate accounts for the distance between the Earth and the Moon, which is about 238,855 miles on average.
The space shuttle orbits at approximately 17500 miles per hour how far could it travel in one year?
Approximately 153 million miles.17,500 miles/hour * 24 hours/day = 420,000 miles/day420,000 miles/day * 365 days/year = 153,300,000 miles/year
How long before docking to the iss does the space shuttle have to start slowing down to make a safe docking?
During launch the space shuttle speeds up to 17500 MPH. In orbit the space station is going about the same speed. So the shuttle does not have to slow down much. At docking the relative speed of the ISS and shuttle is about 1-2 inchs per second.
How many miles has the space shuttle flown?
Discovery is NASA's oldest space shuttle and it has been in flight for more than 25 years. Currently, it has traveled 148,221,675 miles.
How far would you travel in space going at 17500 miles per hour?
In an hour, you would travel 17500 miles. At that speed it would take about 13 hours and 39 minutes to reach the Moon and about 221 days to reach the Sun.
Who invented space shuttle toilet?
The space shuttle toilet was developed by NASA with input from engineers and astronauts. It was designed to accommodate the unique challenges of zero gravity and limited space in a spacecraft. The first space shuttle toilet was used on the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981.
How fast is the space shuttle endeavor?
All space shuttle vehicles orbit at a speed of 17,320 miles per hour.
How does a space shuttle get to the moon and back?
It doesn't. The space shuttle never gets significantly closer to the Moon than its launching pad does (the space shuttle generally operates at a few hundred miles altitude, tops; the Moon is 240,000 miles away).
How fast was the space shuttle Columbia?
The space shuttle Columbia had a maximum speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour during its orbit in space.
At what altitude does the shuttle orbit Earth?
Space Shuttle orbiters generally match the 236 nautical miles orbit of the International Space Station. Missions servicing the Hubble Space Telescope are at 320 nautical miles.
